Maybe it is easy to creat this kind of content, but it is not useful and interesting post. I think you should work on quality of this blog…
Well, not all posts are miscellaneous Ramblings. We do get lots of quality blog posts from John. So I dont think the quality is going anyway down. Or if you dont like it, maybe you should not come here?
Still, it is a clever idea. Not everyone gets others to provide content for free!
It’s actually an online marketing way in my opinion… follow him on twitter so if your post was up, it will provide a backlink
First person to figure out the true reason for this post.
It’s ingenious. Nice way to offer free links!
Not all blogs are high quality consistently and well generally the quality of the posts on John Chow dot Com is good.
And by the time , you select few good ones from the number of posts you recieved, I think it will time for next misc rambling posts. But as bujes said, this was the most uninteresting Misc. Rambling post i read on Johnchow.com
Dang, I missed your tweet as I am compiling the ultimate list of dads on twitter - which includes you John - and would have sent that over to you.
derek, you twit!
Thats one way to get more followers on Twitter
There is never anything useful on this blog. Useful to Chow, yes, as he tries to get all his gullible readers to sign up for his affiliate crap so he can make money. Get a clue.
Marketing is what makes John all of his money. Even the rambling posts are money making lessons!
Personally, I want to see more of John’s lunches, but I guess I should be thankful for the useful marketing information…
“Naki Chiam on some pregnant guy who used to be a girl. ”
I think that was probably the most disturbing news story that I have seen.
That was definitely something different that’s for sure. When I first heard about it somewhere else, the story didn’t initially say he was a girl before. It just said “Guy is Pregnant”.

Hey John! Thanks for the mention…
I’m hoping tons of bloggers get naked with me tomorrow!
Great idea on the hit-and-run approach to the twitter review!
I thought that I will see you naked!
Lol…really? haha
nice way to actually honor your users in a way which will likely help them. excellent thoughtful idea
Twitter is getting so popular recently. I’ve seen these all over the place
wow, that animated gif that went out with this story on rss is totally obnoxious!
Twitter is the big buzz lately but unless you have thousands of friends I can’t see any profitability to it. I’m on there and post regularly but its more cathartic than promotional.
Hello, John Chow, I have followed you. My name is Han Dingchao, my twitter address is http://twitter.com/handingchao
Thanks.

This is one more way to make more followers.. This is a good way for followers to get backlinks.. And this is a good way of marketing
I checked out Cow’s xbox 360 elite contest. I think I’ll have to get in on that one.

“So I dont think the quality is going anyway down. Or if you dont like it, maybe you should not come here?”
You can’t expect John to hit a homerun every post. Some posts are bound to not have a lot of content. That’s ok, considering most of his posts do have good content.
eviiil idea john! but, what else is new??
Twittering your evil thoughts away I see…
