Good to know for commercial blogs -- I only use it personally for videos and images mostly - Shey

whenever I check statistics of tumblr the number of visits to tumblr.com is equal to the number of visits to funkyboy.tumblr.com. Not much useful... - funkyboy

Tumblr is a mortification story for blogging world! : ) - Erhan Erdoğan

I have a tumblr account for personal use. after I heard about tumblr has problems with seo, I like it more - ahmet bulent

Not trying to be contrary, but is it Tumblr that's creating the problem? Maybe partially, but very few free blogging platforms get much engine love right out of the box, and it doesn't look like a lot of effort was made to optimize it. It ranks #3 & 4 for [cara austin], right behind her main site. Google has indexed over 100 pages, many of which are just photos. No unique titles, no descriptions, very little content. Exactly what queries is this site NOT doing well for that it SHOULD do well for? - Erik Dafforn

Interesting idea that it's not Tumblr but the content. I am planning on porting the content over to wordpress, so I'll have a one-to-one experiment to test against. I think that the big issue with Tumblr is that without a lot of customization, it isn't easy to create that SEO-friendly content - like titles, descriptions, tags, categories, etc....all that stuff that gets posts indexed.... more... - Melissa Chang

I knew there was a reason why I stayed on Blogger. :) - Ontario Emperor

@Josh @Melissa @Erik See here and let me know what you think: http://x98.us/d0b - David Ambrose

I did some quick testing and it appears that {PostTitle} does not do anything useful and {Caption} is not permitted between title tags. So basic SEO techniques do not appear to be usable. - jho

The URLs are worthless and the lack of post titles makes tumblr a terrible choice if you care about search engine traffic. More here - http://tinyurl.com/5j5g56 - Bjorn Stromberg

@Bjorn @Jauder @Josh Hopefully we can cause a stir and awaken the sleeping Tumblr giant in Manhattan: http://datainsightsideas.com/post... - David Ambrose

@David You may make a good point about Tumblr being able to be customized to make it seo friendly - but the reason that I used Tumblr in the first place (and why most people use it) is b/c it's simple and you don't have to be a developer or get a developer involved to use it. Having to mess around with the code defeats that purpose. - Melissa Chang

@Melissa That's a very big reason why I decided to launch my first blog on Tumblr. It was easy, no-fills posting. "Great," I thought. But I started to notice that Tumblr was living in its own universe: folks went lived in the Dashboard and never really escaped. Post titles and dates were never really correct. It gets frustrating when you spend time to write (and not merely bookmarklet sites) and then it vanishes into thin air. - David Ambrose

David - I would say the same for LiveJournal and, to an extent, Facebook. Nice gardens, but walled nonetheless. - Phil Glockner

@Phil. For sure! Great way to put it. - David Ambrose

You are aware that you can add post titles using {block:PostTitle} {PostTitle} {/block:PostTitle} ? - pratham

I think it's fair to say that T could be more seo-friendly by default with title tags, pulling X chars from the body as a meta desc., etc. But I also think comparing it to WP is unfair, because in many cases (not all), people post far less original content and use it differently. It doesn't seem to have crawling issues. Plenty of WP blogs do fine with URLs like /?p=50 if other things are in place. Those things now exist in WP because the community made them possible via plugins and smart templates. - Erik Dafforn

@ptm see @Erik's response below. It's the idea of having SEO-friendly post titles as default that makes sense to the community. - David Ambrose

Maybe a site like FF, as a third-party site giving some linkage to Tumblr posts, will be what some people need to get some search engine attention. External linkage is a big part of the puzzle that we haven't discussed. If you have a Tumblr blog and 25 active FF friends, that should start to make a difference sooner or later, providing you're writing about things that people are searching for. - Erik Dafforn

@Erik FF is a big push to my site, but a lot comes from Twitter as well as Facebook...which is interesting. - David Ambrose

@David that is very interesting. I'm fascinated to see how the traffic funnel develops. One benefit of FF and Twitter's "open" state is that unlike with Facebook (whose public profile shows "some" of your friends), bots see all your friends and you benefit from activity and making friends. Oddly, I would not have known about Tumblr if not for seeing people's FF feeds... So I think the two (FF and Tumblr) will benefit each other. - Erik Dafforn

@Eric That's right on. I'll post some screenshots from Google Analytics around FF, Twitter and Facebook modules. - David Ambrose

This discussion is disappointing, guys. Tumblelogs (and Tumblr specifically) can index EXTREMELY well, which actually forced us to turn away droves of affiliate spammers after we became their platform of choice last summer. My silly tumblelog at davidslog.com is 1st on Google for "david karp" and 17th for "david" (above David Pogue). There have been some seriously uninformed comparisons... more... - David Karp

@David @Phil The Dashboard (and tumblr.com) accounts for less than 10% of Tumblr traffic. - David Karp

@David I'm not saying that this conversation is "FUD"; rather, quite the opposite. Thanks for stopping by and implementing the features. - David Ambrose

Wow, that's a fast response. I'll be happy about the {PostTitle} summary! - rodmitch

@ptm Yes I am aware of it but as of yesterday it was not producing anything really useful. @David Karp, good to see that you are listening to the conversation. I would suggest 2 things. 1) Make both {PostTitle} and {Caption} available in the title as well as meta description (or make Caption = PostTitle) and 2) enable Title as url so that something like http://foo.com/posts... works. Looking forward to the improvements. - jho

Tumblr does index well. Particularly if you use text posts with titles. - Chris M

It's a pity that, while aggregating the demise of named Web 2.0 companies, the authors elected to illustrate it using static graphics, rather than making it a clickable (Web1.5?) image map, at least the second part <http://img.labnol.org/di...>.With granular links pointing to, I don't know, perhaps the TechCrunch Deadpool, or the Crunchbase? - ianf ⌘

what's odd is how many of the acquired companies are still searching for revenue. it's not just the dead companies that fail to meet the first rule of a company. be inherently profitable. - wannagot

If I understand this correctly, most prevalent post-dotcom-bust dotcom model is to build up a respectable client base assisted by press buzz and faves, then sell out to a media giant that has the financial muscle and managerial competence to turn our cottage into a true industry. - ianf ⌘

you're right, ianf, but that's not a sustainable model. the media giants will one day have to start consolidating, and then the sell it to google concept will wither on the vine, along with the venture capital lottery. - wannagot from twhirl

plus i neglected to mention the small matter of the worst recession in over half a century. that's enough to get everyone focusing on the missing piece of the web 2.0 puzzle. profit. - wannagot

No, on paper it's definitely not sustainable, but then strange things have happened in the past. First, there's P.T. Barnum's golden rule; second, there's far too much free capital in the industrialized world chasing after the same few viable business ideas. Neither of which looks like it'll become obsolete in this our life, or next. - ianf ⌘

y, there's always the barnum bandwagon effect. but as far as reponsible capital is concerned, a healthy balance sheet is likely to mean a whole lot more. that won't end frivolous investments and acquisitions based on nothing but it will certainly dent the market for them considerably, and choke off the sense of possibility of both entrepreneurs, private investors and vc's. - wannagot from twhirl

How many $$$$$$$ by the drain? - ThinkEzy

All I know is future generations will look down on us as unimaginative country bumpkins, while simultaneously investing in resurrection of dead souls on Krypton (I hear it's near break even point as we speak, wanna join?) - ianf ⌘

Most of them shouldn't have existed in the first place - LANjackal

Saw your comment immediately. - Gabe Rivera

BTW, that was my first FF comment since August '08. - Gabe Rivera

Like a virgin. - MG Siegler

Welcome back then Gabe! - Simon Wicks

I'm tellin' ya. FF's back. Just bookmarked their iphone friendly site. - Mario Sundar

you don't say ;-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev

The day FF will launch real-time, the earth will stand still. - Jérôme

Jerome: wut? I myself will lurve saved searches AKA track AKA Gillmor's Grail - Gabe Rivera

I meant every smart microblogger will have to move to Friendfeed. Time will only run on Friendfeed! - Jérôme

Gillmor may spontaneously combust if track hits FF before it restarts on twitter - Adrian

I'd love to hear a list why its "irresistibly useful" for you, Gabe. I'm still quasi-resisting, although I do find it useful. - C. K. Sample III

I will repeat here: it would be great for users if Twitter and FF merged their capabilities. One completes the other. - William Mougayar

William, what does Twitter do that Friendfeed doesn't? - Jérôme

Hey Gabe - great to see you here - Hutch Carpenter

what recent features excite you - @baratunde

CK, baratunde: essentially, its capacity to extend Twitter in very useful ways. Creating small friend lists here (to track separately from your main feed) is easier here than with Twitter desktop apps, and the results come in in real time. I also turned on IM notifications for select friends. Remember Twitter had IM? They took the feature away. - Gabe Rivera

There goes the neighborhood! :-) - Robert Scoble

The last couple days on Twitter have brought me back to FF as well - Costa Walcott

Gabe - any plans to add services like FriendFeed/Backtype/Reddit etc to Link Search option in Techmeme. Tried Link Search on top headline i.e. http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL... and got zero results from Google Blog Search/Ask and IceRocket returned 5. - Atul Arora

Atul: huh, putting a URL in FF search does come up with useful results, so I think I'll add FF to the link search list. If those other services have backlink search currently available, please list sample query urls here and I'll take a look. (BTW, to see what Atul's talking about, click "Preferences" on Techmeme, then click "Show Link Search".) - Gabe Rivera

Backtype aggregates across Reddit, YCombinator and FriendFeed - See http://www.backtype.com/comment... - Atul Arora

Gabe bit.ly also does link search and returns FriendFeed, Twitter and Backtype results for all bit.ly version of that URLs e.g. http://bit.ly/info/8XNa4. Since @TechmemeFH and @Techmeme are both using bit.ly the link search is simply adding the + after the URL i.e. http://bit.ly/8XNa4+ for the bit.ly based link search. - Atul Arora

Gabe, here's a link to our connect feature which shows all the conversation around a link (digg, reddit, twitter, friendfeed, hacker news, and posts that link in): http://www.backtype.com/connect... - Mike Montano

Mike - so what is bit.ly using to show comments from backtype. It shows zero comments. Is it filtering comments so that it only shows comments from the blog page? - Atul Arora

Thanks Mike, Atul. I will take a close look at this later and probably add some more link search links. - Gabe Rivera

Atul, yes they're using a method that only fetches comments from the page being queried, though full connect functionality would be a nice addition imo. - Mike Montano

Hey look Gabe is back! :) - Susan Beebe

I agree, except that it should be easier to add an external feed other than through the cumbersome creation of an "Imaginary Friend". - Derek Mahar

My mustache is more lustrous and thick after switching to FriendFeed. I have a lot more energy. Even my wife has noticed certain improvements in my usefulness around the house. Thanks FriendFeed! [I BLUSH] - Jay Cuthrell

I'm still going to say that I think links to friendfeed discussions on blog posts belong on Techmeme. ;) - Thomas Hawk

Wait, is this sarcastic Twitter Gabe or normal Gabe? What persona have you decided to adopt on FF? :) - Matt Cutts

No idea whether it's of use to TechMeme, Gabe, but FriendFeed's API will give you a list of all the entries that link to a specified URL. http://code.google.com/p... You can see it in action with http://ffcheck.com - Ken Sheppardson

I agree I like Friendfeed simplicity. - LaShea Miller

Friendfeed just gets better every day (and is incredibly responsive to user feedback!) - Charlie Anzman

like the notifications air app ... been trying it out. - Julian Lukács

FriendFeed FTW! - (jeff)isageek

@mattcutts: hah, no I'm serious here. FF's current feature set now offers great value to me. I suspect FF still has a major challenge offering a compelling and differentiated product to the Oprah crowd, but that doesn't concern me (and FF may nail that eventually). - Gabe Rivera

@thomashawk: noted. :-) - Gabe Rivera

I have already noticed a massive increase in followers on friendfeed recently. Anecdotal evidence indicates friendfeed is growing (I find it has a higher utility as well) - Jordan Willms

Let's see what Scoble says, I have no idea, he may have done it himself. - Jeremiah Owyang

Cool. No matter what -- the info came from him originally. I knew about it a couple of weeks ago, and suggested he hold onto it as long as possible, but Scoble is Scoble, a force of nature -- and nothing can stop him, not even Scoble. :-) - Dave Winer

May be, may be not ! - Jayavasanthan J

It was not. Last night he told me Mike already knew and was getting more detail. - Louis Gray

Ah thanks Louis, so Robert is his own leak? - Jeremiah Owyang

Well, Jeremiah, he promised me the exclusive on this, so we are all in the same boat. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

To be fair, he probably specified an embargo. - Richard Lawler

Me.. I think Calacanis should thank Scoble for making it a good day to make public that he employed a felon... now everyone is going to talk about what Scoble is going to do next :-) - Ian D. Nock

I've never really understood why Robert didn't go solo. He doesn't need to stand under the umbrella of another organization, he can make it rain on his own. - Todd Hoff

Alex - LOL :D - Susan Beebe

Good point Just CW. I meant more leveraging his own brand for his own greater reward. Work with others on the business side and video editing :-) Maybe something like ScobleCrunchOm :-) - Todd Hoff

JustCW - ooh I like the partnership Leo Laporte idea... GigaOm is good too - Susan Beebe

I think Robert should be CMO for Friendfeed :) If not Robert, then Louis ! hehehee - Susan Beebe

I don't think he could work for a particular company like FF because he has to surf the trends to stay current. An explorer always looks to the next horizon. - Todd Hoff

We will know it is the end if FF ever has a position such as CMO. - coldbrew

no surprise....at all. - Rob Sellen :o)

Jeremiah: Arrington called me. He already had the news. - Robert Scoble

In which city are you? I've been teaching basic English to slum children in Benares, 2 years ago. Lots of great souvenirs! - Jérôme

Hi Jérôme, this school is in Hyderabad. http://rainbowprimaryschool.blogspot.com/. And yep, Hutch, true! - Adam Lasnik

One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was passing out toys, coloring books and clothing with a bunch of friends in Tulum, MX. The smiles on both the childrens and parents faces were priceless. - JCunwired

Lovely lovely! :) - Bee

What's amazing to me is just how universal (across India) a love-of-camera has been for kids. I'm not sure if it's an issue of rarely seeing digital cameras, rarely seeing non-Indians in person, or something else... but kids in India have just gone wild (with big smiles or more) when I point my camera at them. Will share more photos later :-) - Adam Lasnik

yeah, always surprised me the lack of comments and discussion for his videos on fastcompany. I think you're right regarding the text element but also frankly videoson the web (at least for me) just a) you never know what ur going to get b) it's not skimmable as u said c) playback on nearly all browsers is never smooth. One final point though is the length of the interviews...I always feel like I have to reserve time for them and by the time I do, it feels too late. - Zee.

See, Allen, that's text too! - Steve Rubel from IM

i could do a video :) too bad the bloggerking is on a tour of australia right now - he'd be perfect for this - Allen Stern

@Allen only if it has trains. More trains please. I watch those. - Steve Rubel

when are we meeting - it's been too long! - Allen Stern

Allen: Bribe with NBA or NFL tickets. Didn't you learn ANYTHING from Robert's thread? SHEESH! - Mona Nomura

Allen we need to, I agree. But only if I get to be in a video. It's king of the web ya know? - Steve Rubel from IM

@Mona Too late for NFL tix. Unless someone gets me into the Super Bowl (us lowly PR people don't go - only the ad guys/gals). - Steve Rubel

Steve: you're right but doing video was the best thing I've ever done for my career. - Robert Scoble

This is so on the money. Just left a comment on the blog, but my reason is that I can read it a heck of a lot faster than I can watch it. - Karoli

@Scoble, I don't doubt it. And I love what you're doing and it's where the ad money is flowing too - but I do wonder about the attention issues. - Steve Rubel

Wish I could post this comment in audio or video but text still remains the king of the web. - Sweyn Venderbush

steve - i'd totally love to come by and do a video interview with you - and @mona - i didn't read any of robert's silly booster threads this weekend :) - Allen Stern

Allen, in the video do I get to say "Ronk-onk-oma. The next stop is Ronk-onk-oma followed by Spe-onk." Then I am there. - Steve Rubel from IM

wait - let's do it ON the LIRR! off-peak of course - Allen Stern

And, purely from a user's point of view... text is extremely efficient to consume (even for a visual person like me). Audio requires more effort. Video monopolizes several senses, and several distinct chunks of the brain. Videos need to be occasional, short, and impactful. - Tinfoil 2.0

Great post and text is certainly king and in some ways I hope it stays that way. - AJ Kohn

It think it should be an integration of different tools. The written word is always on the top and will stay so. A real hard-cover book is hard to beat. Online text is easy to scan, using different tools like RSS feeds, and then to decided to read more about. I am using a video email tool there you could see the response rate and follow the statistics in a neat way. Who has read it, how... more... - Martin Lindeskog

front office:text,back one:code. - Igor Poltavskiy

Video always feels like too much of a commitment to me. It's supposed to grab your attention for some length of time. Text is just faster, easier, simpler. - Nathan Howell

Nathan: do you watch the Superbowl in ASCII? You must be very fun to take on a movie date "no, dear, I would rather just read the Amazon movie reviews." - Robert Scoble

When I want to be entertained, I watch video—movies, TV, YouTube, whatever. But when I want something explained to me, if it's not face-to-face, then it's gotta be text. I don't have time otherwise. - Victor Ganata

who brought the whale? - NoahDavidSimon

I actually thought about you when I saw these words trending on Twitter last evening. I feel your pain. :) - vimoh

I know that, but I was hoping the (empty) threat of a lawsuit would deter. I think any kind of a suit would have a pretty negative impact on my brand. More so than losing the trademark. In effect, Twitter has cost me my trademark. The real risk now is that someone will do a tech news roundtable podcast and call it TWiT. I guess I'd have to sue then, but I think I've weakened my defense. - Leo Laporte

At least everyone who knows TWiT will forever associate those sites more with This Week in Tech than with Twitter.. a bit of reverse karma? - Eric Rost

@Matt - Luckily (as the No Rights Reserved movement seems to be embracing as well) its a free country where we can piss and moan about whatever we wish! With no penalties even. :) - Eric Rost

We all know what the real TWiT is... accept no substitutes. ;) - John Denver

We all know but what about the uninitiated? - Bob Maltais

I assume asking them nicely to change to "tweet" instead of "twit" wouldn't work? - Robin

You have to sue leo, if twitter goes mainstream, you will see hundreds of 3rd party services with twit*.com names like twit_this.com and twit_that.com and you will suffer. I actually thought twit_or_fit was one of your sites for a few seconds. - David Lloyd

Yeah, twit_or_fit is a direct challenge to TwitFit. - Martin Johnson

at least a change to their logo/presence to not look so similar would be a plus - Bob Maltais

Remember too the longer you leave it, the less protection you have. Imagine if twitter sold to facebook or something, and you had ot protect your name, the courts would say "why didn't you protect it when the company was worth nothing?" - David Lloyd

I say send them a passive aggressive note too. - Robin

There is only one TWiT and long may it stand!! - Bill

I defy anyone to name a single person in tech who is loved by his fans more than Leo - David Lloyd

Steve Jobs? - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

I can't, Leo FTW! - Martin Johnson

Hey, just when I was thinking about getting all gussied up and making some new profile pics LOL - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

you mean ALL rights reserved? - Josh Haley

Me? I don't write any fanfic...and I can't for the life of me place Perfect Strangers, unless it's that Balki show (and why would anyone still be writing about that; it aint Star Trek!). - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

How do reserved rights work with a common dictionary word? I suppose one could easily go after TWiTorFit or TWiTBlogs, but those do not exist, or at least do not appear to be the issue. - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

Apple is a dictionary word. - David Lloyd

And Applebee's restaurants are still going strong? - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

To be fair, trying to build a brand around the word Twit made no sense to start with. Way too common. Further, Twit is a name of a specific show, and not very useful as a meta-brand anyway. - Soulhuntre from twhirl

A Google search seems to indicate a fair lot of businesses named "Apple Tree." - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

Robert Scoble tweeted about http://www.twitlonger.com/ yet another "twit" - Robin

@dariusmdev - I agree not to use the name "Leo" in it, but essentially naming the network "this week in tech" was way, way too lomiting from the start and the term "twit" was never, ever goign to be really protectable. - Soulhuntre

But if I called my hamburger restaurant MacDonald's rather than McDonald's, I don't think I would be in business for very long. - Barry Biddlecomb from twhirl

@Barry that comparison is way off base. You are talking about two businesses in the same biz. What does Twitblogs, TwittoFit, twitlonger have in common with TWiT on any level? None of them are in the same biz, none of them use similar graphics, phrasing, placement, or association on their site. Additionally twit is a word like water, or hat and this means it is even more difficult to have broad protections against unrelated use. - Roger Kondrat

chicken feet are tasty, but annoying to eat. - clarke thomas

I love the context that the censors are being more protectionist than nationalist (if there's a difference). - Andrew

The censors are doing 1 other major thing....limiting the information to the public. If Chinese citizens truly knew how much in the dark ages they are, there'd be a revolt. - clarke thomas

There isn't much meat on chicken feet. In that sense, those are as bad as wings. - Morton Fox

Robert, Every time a coworker of mine travels to China, they come back a bit surprised. Was your trip what you expected? If so, how? If not, how was it different? - Steve Olson

You only know few about China, 对于中国你了解甚少。 - Chris Qie

Steve: I was in China 12 years ago, so I already was prepared. I'm always blown away by rate of change here. It makes New York seem like a country village. Makes Vegas seem minor league. - Robert Scoble

Yes, Twitter needs re-tweet. - Sweyn Venderbush from twhirl

Twhirl has one. But it would be nice if it was native to Twitter. For that matter, FriendFeed needs one, too. - Josh Bancroft

you should try Tweenky. it's the best feature there. http://beta.tweenky.com/ and you'll like it anyway because the page refreshing itself. - Orli Yakuel

Twitter needs another button: "hide" because you want to get updates from your friends, but sometimes they don't know where to stop ;-) - Orli Yakuel

use twhirl - Ouriel Ohayon

ouriel: twhirl is nice, but I often don't want to start it for a variety of reasons not the least of which is I read Twitter on my iPhone a lot and switch back and forth between FF and Twitter a TON. - Robert Scoble

TweetDeck, dude. Makes Twitter so much better. - Jason Falls

Twitter doesn't care about their UI - their main API lead is writing a book right now so they'll get to that when he's done. - Jesse Stay

Hiya Robert... I use Slandr on my E71. It has a re-tweet button. Massively useful. Nothing to stop you from using Slandr on your normal browser. Blue skies Love Roy - Roy Blumenthal from fftogo

Hey guys, if you haven't already looked at it, http://itweet.net has a retweet button. iTweet.net is what Twitter.com SHOULD be. - Rah-PM 2012

Posty and TweetDeck both have that. - Louis Gray

FriendFeed has that too - it's called "like" :-) - Jesse Stay from twhirl

Robert - Tweetdeck offers that feature, but you're wanting it on iPhone...soo that's a problem. Jesse LOL - good idea! - Susan Beebe

Don't you think the easiest way to RT is from inside FF? - Bernie Goldbach

Because when you RT from FF you get context and better meaning. - Bernie Goldbach

I asked Ev about the ability to retweet. In his usual, highly productive mindset he asked "Why can't you retweet?" thinking there was a bug. I said I meant the lazy way, like Twhirl (main reason I use it + shortening). He replied "Oh". "Well maybe" :) - Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct

I don't like re-tweeting except when other people are re-tweeting my tweets. However, I was also going to mention Slandr. thanks to Roy Blumenthal I'll check it out online too - Cathleen Rittereiser

good sugestion Robert. - Michael McGimpsey from twhirl

Bernie, that brings up an entirely different UI issue for Twitter. They have the capability to do threads on the backend. Another UI issue they're neglecting. FF is beating them to the punch on everything. - Jesse Stay from twhirl

Just use Twhirl, there is a retweet button. Comes in very handy. - Tracy Lee Carroll from twhirl

@Gregory Lent If the link is ff.im, that's someone's ff to twitter post - Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct

I use Tweetdeck and that has a retweet button too - Ian May

It really needs one. - Vera Hannaford

Use Twhirl for your Tweeting - David Rosam from twhirl

definitely needs - Murat Bişkin

My hubby may have made similar comments about me, but he got me a tshirt that says "Wargame Widow: Time after time after time." - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

Yeah my wife is a WoW Widow and the iPhone doesn't help.... - Andy Lewandowski

In the early days of the PC, didn't we hear complaints from Computer Widows. (A back formation from football widows). Plus ça change... - Michael Markman

Sarah Austin??? It's my real name :) Sarah Meyers was a stage name. - Sarah Austin
