Paywall.
That's good to hear! Make sure you're using #TodayInHistory and not #TIH: I was advised to abandon the latter because it wasn't descriptive enough. I have tons of sites. Most major news outlets have a 'Today in History' or 'This Day in History' subsection, and there are sites dedicated specifically to daily history. I usually boil it down to a wikipedia article and post that. Here's a brief list: - http://www.todayinliterature.com/ - http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_anniversaries - http://www.on-this-day.com/ - http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/specials/today-in-history/index.html?SITE=AP - http://www.infoplease.com/dayinhistory - http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/today-history-36352392 And some subreddits, if you're a dirty redditor: /r/TodayInHistory, /r/100YearsAgo, /r/200YearsAgo, and lots more on the sidebars of those subs. I usually just snag the first thing that makes me go 'Huh, interesting' and post the wikipedia article about it. If the wikipedia article isn't great, I post the reporting source.
Using https://hubski.com/global (global link, top right) is helpful for finding new tags. And glad you found #TodayInHistory! Welcome aboard!
Ha! Funny that you bring that up.
Haha, I think I did. I need to reddit less. I used to have 4 defaults, including /r/music, and /r/politics and all kinds of medium level subs on top of that... I've slowed back to just /r/gadgets, /r/history and /r/politics. I'm considering going to just /r/gadgets one of these days, and that's mainly because I am the top (2nd technically, but boss has been inactive for years) mod and I built the subreddit from 10k people to the default it is now. It eats my time and my mind up, though. I'm so frustrated with the admins and the website in general, and it shouldn't bother me anywhere close to as much as it does. I do have a massive amount of time invested... I have written tons of bots and tools and even run my own website dedicated to things like that. (http://noeatnosleep.me) I have to figure out when I should put it down and why, and then do it.
That's some pretty inflammatory writing and a super clickbaity title. Haha.
Glad you like it!
I'm super excited about this. Heck, I sent you a message probably a year ago asking about API possilities. I'll be following #devski for sure! I have a few ideas I'd like to try once there is a good API.
Awesome! I'm happy people like it. I think I will do a daily post, maybe with multiple links, and a bit more text. I read lots of history, I love doing daily updates.
Thank you so much! I almost didn't post today because I was feeling like I might be a little spammy or people didn't really care much about them. The last five or so I've posted haven't gotten any clicks or comments, so I was worried people didn't like them.
I love Ezekiel and Daniel. Ever read The Book of Enoch?
Fascinating story, really. I really dig his explanation of how it was a 'surprise party' or an 'intervention'. I hope he does make another political appearance at some point.
Mmm. Fascinating. I know some android users who will be switching, as they've always said the only reason they're not using iPhones is the display size.
This is really good. I'm impressed.
Ah, yes! Absolutely.
Currently, I'm having about a 50% success rate using any hyperlinks on the site.
One thing that's bothering me already is people putting the reddit tag on my posts since the majority of users are ignoring it. It's like a little clique or group, and if you don't fit in, they'll ostracize you. It's happened twice now, and on posts that have nothing to do with reddit.
