| New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | SukhmaniR | 4/4/12 9:47 PM | Maybe I'm mistaken, but since the new coffee shop layout came out I've noticed a whole lot of new bloggers out there |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | aka alex | 4/5/12 4:47 AM | Yeah and a whole lot of moderation >-< Like discussions being closed for no reason. |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | sosmusic_MatthewP | 4/5/12 6:50 AM | I never posted in the old layout so can't comment but I've only just discovered these groups and they seem like a cool place to promote and discover new blogs to follow :) http://www.sos-music.co.uk/ |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | AlGoreRhythm | 4/5/12 8:05 AM | The new platform is attracting new bloggers, as did the old one. In any forum with built-in visibility to users of a major internet product, there will always be new people coming and going. The question is, will the new platform retain more of these |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | SukhmaniR | 4/5/12 1:40 PM | It seems that the majority of posts these days are of people seeking advice on how to make their blogs better |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | AlGoreRhythm | 4/5/12 4:06 PM | 22 out of the 50 most recently active topics, to be precise. Of the rest, 7 are tech-related questions, 6 are general (non-blogging related) discussions, 4 each are non-English and blogging-related topics, 3 each are general blog-sharing and forum-re |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | AlGoreRhythm | 4/5/12 4:10 PM | P.S. Of the above, 33, or 66%, are of the type that do not attract repeat participants - the help-me/read-my-blog, tech-related, and non-English threads. |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | K.V.S.S. | 4/6/12 8:11 AM | Coffee shop need not have technical questions. There are other categories for it. It will be good if there is more focus on discovery of good blogs, blog promotion, blog content topics, celebration of blog achievements and blog monetization. |

| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | aimee_kath | 4/12/12 2:43 PM | That's how it seems, which is great, but I feel a bit lost now. |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | Nikki24 | 4/12/12 11:27 PM | Not sure about that because I am a new blogger myself but as much as I appreciate the blog promotions and being able to check out new blogs, I still wish there are some topics that are just plain discussions on random things apart from the blog.After |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | krouth | 4/13/12 8:45 AM | Lot's of 'blog whoring' now in this new coffee shop... Not much community like the old one. Think I'm just going to hang out in the "other" new coffee shop... |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | kenrique | 4/25/12 5:55 AM | True that. But also good to help others out |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | Dronetalker | 4/26/12 11:34 AM | I'm not a new blogger but this new coffeeshop format really is detracting my desire to come here. |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | DayDreamer | 4/29/12 2:02 PM | It's a shame in many ways. I used to enjoy coming in for a silly chat but no-one is starting up those type posts anymore. It's good to get feedback on your blog but I liked the chat from other bloggers. This is the first time I've been back in here f |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | AlGoreRhythm | 4/29/12 2:41 PM | The other new coffee shop is subject to the same technical limitations and has the same basic format as this one, but with a more hands-off approach to moderation. I don't think the TCs are to blame here, though. They were all on the old platform, wh |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | Crazed Economist | 5/7/12 9:37 PM | I used the old layout a bit and only discovered the new layout today. I prefer the old one. I don't know why but it just seemed better. I even visited the link to the group the old member made when this new stuff came in. Anyway, time will tell which |
| Re: New coffee shop attracting new bloggers? | AlGoreRhythm | 5/8/12 10:16 AM | I'm not sure the other new coffee shop is intended to be beneficial to Google, but rather to those who participate in it in the hopes of regaining some of the spirit of the old one. Ironically, in doing that (by allowing general discussion and design |
