The I, Anonymous Avalanche

Posted by on June 2 at 11:07 AM

Re: Amy J’s curiosity about the recent avalanche of I, Anonymous submissions appearing in the web forum: I wish I could say I receive two dozen fascinating submissions a day, but it would be a lie.

95 percent of the hot new entries steaming up the I, Anonymous web forum are submissions sent but never published over the past year. Prior to the new web launch, these runner-up items were left to sizzle in my in-box. Now they belong to the masses, and not a minute too soon.

Even better, I still have a couple hundred submissions left to turn into individual web threads, and I’m wondering if I should be strategic in how and when I parse them out—say, posting 5 to 10 each day, to amp daily interest in the forum? Please share your thoughts.
