Notes to Self got a mention on Rocketboom this morning.
They get some outrageously enormously massively large (i’m running out of apropos adjectives, but you get the idea) amount of daily traffic (something like 130,000 views? What the?) so it looks like my “little project I just started a week ago” is going better than expected. Or perhaps EXACTLY as expected. Mwahahaha.
Thanks, Amanda and crew!
nicely done. throw some google ads on there and sit back and watch the money roll in.

Not a chance. I hate ads.
said Joshua
They’re adverbs. ;)
But I get the idea.
Congratulations!

hi.
have some questions: what mean the colour of each note? have any incidence on the kind of note?
do you read your notes to yourself afterwards?
how often do you publish a note?

I love your notes… just had a long read. I often say my own ‘note to self’s aloud instead of actually writing them down.
Don’t bother with Google AdSense… it’s all hype, no one makes any real money.

Andrés :
The colors just run in the same order to divide things up nicely and give a little visual spice to the page when you look at the whole thing. No relevance to the note’s contents.
Yes.
Whenever I think of them and i’m near a computer. To put it in perspective, the site has only been up for 10 days.

Ahem…. I TOLD YOU SO. :)
Notes To Self is the new black. AND the new Post Secret. I know how to call ‘em, Shua.
In a related story: My latest album is the new “Thriller.”

nice little jack handy you have going on there mr. blankenship. I must say this may be deserving of another visit to the noog.

Does Amanda do that site for a living or just fun?

Any way to make this an RSS feed to feature on a blog? I’d love to put these in at random…

Larry, possibly. I coded out a little WordPress plugin for it, just because I know that system well, but I haven’t tested it yet. Anything beyond that, i’m doubting i’ll have time to work on.
said Joshua
holy reaction against the google ads batman!
i guess that joke wasn’t as apparent as i thought i had made it.
i should make a note to myself about that…

WHat type of backend software are you using to post each item?

There’s no content management system. I’ll end up programming something eventually, but I haven’t had time/motivation to do so yet.
