Nodevertising

Posting all your new writeups in the Chatterbox with the faint hope that your fellow Everythingians will vote for them and/or cool them. Not to be confused with nodes mentioned in the context of actual conversation, node-vertising is just a link screamed into the night by the noder himself, usually within seconds of the node's submission.

Sometimes it comes across as really sleazy or annoying, but every once and a while something cool gets thrown in there and I find myself thanking the noder for bringing it to my attention. But unless you actually feel like the whole Everything community is quivering with anticipation for your next node, I'd shy away from the practice. There is a New Writeups nodelet, you know.

Note: This writeup was moved here from node-vertising, which is how I used to spell it in the ancient times when I invented the term.

The pathetic and self-depreciating act of whoring your nodes around by hard linking or mentioning them excessively in the chatterbox when it has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation at hand. This is generally due to the unfortunate and quite frequent happenstance that everyone misses your node completely in the "New Writeups" nodelet and it gets no exposure at all (thus no votes or C!'s). While discouraging, this happens to everyone and can be overcome by soft-linking, hard-linking and mentioning your writeups to your friends via /msg.

Please try to remember that some of us have thousands of writeups
that were written before the voting system was even implemented.
And you thought you had exposure problems. :P
