As many of you know, Media Orchard was a Technorati Top 3,000 blog back in the day (Summer 2006). We got distracted with other things (mainly clients) and more or less abandoned the blog for a while, then brought it back in September 2007 with a new approach.

It might not seem coherent enough to be called “an approach” to you — but it works for me. And you do seem to be enjoying it based on the traffic increases shown here:

It’s cool that at January 25, traffic for Q1 has already exceeded the total for the entire third quarter of 2007. But the most exciting news for me is that Spin Thicket is also becoming a larger community — which is so important since it depends on your conversations to make it worthwhile.

We’re planning a complete overhaul of Spin Thicket that we expect to launch by the end of February. Stay tuned.

You may know we’ve long had ambivalent feelings toward Digg. While we’ve been a member for a year and a half now, we haven’t exactly been an active user. But now that Digg is embroiled in so much controversy, and virtually every client is asking about the site, I decided I should at least play around with it a little bit more. If you’d like to play with me, go to my profile page and add me as a friend.

(And for the three or four of you who actually got the Saturday Night Fever refererence in the headline, I won’t tell anybody if you won’t.)
