The #fridayflash Report

By now you know the routine. It is inevitable that I've missed someone's story, so I'll just say there are at least 63 stories this week. Stay tuned for a final count. If I missed yours don't hate me, just ping me down in the comments or on Twitter and I'll add it.



Conversely, if I've included your story and for some reason you don't want to be on the list, ping me for that too, and I'll take you off. My assumption is that if you tweet under the #fridayflash hashtag you want to be included. But sometimes other people may tweet the link to your story, which can lead to a misunderstanding on my part. That almost happened last week.



Three quick reminders that can help both you and me:

1. Use a URL shortening service. Your links tend to get mauled upon retweeting if you don't.

2. Use links to your post, not to your overall blog. That way people will find your story if they are browsing thorough the archives. I will no longer adjust links in the report. It just takes too much time.

3. If you format your tweet Title, by John Doe it makes harvesting the info needed for this report a whole lot easier. I am going to see if I can get folks who do this canonized. :)



Lots of great stories, as always. So get out there and start reading!
