Technology That Helps Us
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Technology spans almost every industry known to man, but perhaps is most importantly used in the medical field. One company, called Imtec, is a leader in premiere digital radiography technology solutions and deserves to be taken note of.
After researching their technology, the aspect that impresses me most about Imtec is that they are able to use less radiation in producing an image of like-quality to conventional radiography. This is because Imtec uses digital radiography which means that X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Other advantages of this kind of radiography are time efficiency and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. These are major pluses, and I encourage all of you to visit their website to learn more.
A Hot Niche In Blogging

Hot Niches in blogging come and go. Of course, the really exceptional blogs in any niche will remain strong and retain a large reader-base. Right now, I’m noticing that more and more blogs focusing on a “zen-like” lifestyle are taking the spotlight. Sites like ZenHabits and RirianProject are good examples of this. I can see a few reasons for the current trend, as people look for ways to de-stress while maintaining productive during these trying times.
Usually what happens in these hot niche cycles is that more and more people will “jump on the bandwagon,” so to speak, by creating their own like-minded niche blog, until overcrowding occurs and the next big thing emerges. Make Money Online or MMO blogs are a good example of a very crowded niche where it would seem people are starting to jump ship.
To Show Off RSS Subscriber Count Or Not?
This is something that I’ve been pondering lately, as I read many blogs in a day and notice a great number of them show off their Feedburner RSS subscriber stats. My opinion is that if the number is low it will probably do more harm than good. Maybe a newcomer comes to your site, but notices that you only have five subscribers, and suddenly it doesn’t appear so attractive.
I’m not saying that people are total sheep, but if I see a high number, I tend to assume that there is something worth reading, and that the blog is a proven source of quality information. Or that the webmaster has artificially inflated their Feedburner stats, but that is a different post all together.
While a low subscriber number will often only indicate that it is a newer blog, I would suggest holding off until you have a larger confirmed reader base, as to not scare off those that would discount your writing or the quality of its information based on a low subscriber count.
