Reader poll: How often do you check this site / RSS feed?

18 Mar

Posted by Sam Jackson as Internets

Hey all! I know I haven’t been posting very much recently, so take this question in the context of your entire relationship with this website. Sometimes I’ll get into a posting spree and I worry that some posts get buried beneath others, never to be seen again. I can get a rough answer to this question with my google analytics and Feedburner data, but I would be interested in hearing reader responses directly, too. Then again, poll results will be coming from people who check relatively frequently… funny, right?

RSS readers, if this javascript poll doesn’t work for you, please click through.

Those bullets are annoying but I decided that rather than properly style the poll I would throw it up now and correct things later. We’re experimenting.

Fun fact: I checked today for the first time in weeks to discover that my RSS subscriber pool is now over a hundred and has been for the last month or so. Wow! Thanks for reading, guys. Or rather… subscribing to nothing. Either way, cool.

I think that you should write a nice long post on how -dreadful- it is to select a school when you applied to lots of different schools that you like, and got into more than one.

I check approximately once or twice a month, which I write only because it is less than once a week but I think more often than the next choice of “not very often”

Who is Sam Jackson?

I'm currently a sophomore at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale, and am an official Yale blogger. Click here to read my 'about' page.

Kind words about my blog:

Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.”

Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice”

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”

Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”

and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
