TALK TO ME!!!!!

WHATS UP LIFERS? I’M HERE IN VEGAS, I JUST DID A PRESS CONFERENCE AT BLOGWORLDEXPO 2009, AND IN THE MIST OF TALKING MY MIND WAS SPARKED WITH TODAYS TOPIC.  ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 AGO GREG STREET AND I DID A INTERVIEW WITH NECOLEBITCHIE.COM ON A FRI AND I WANTED TO POST IT ASAP BUT SHE ASKED THAT WE WAIT TILL MON. I DIDN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND SO HAD HER EXPLAIN. SHE SAID THE TRAFFIC FOR BLOGGING IS LOW ON THE WEEKENDS AND YALL DON’T REALLY READ BLOGS SAT AND SUN. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT ABOUT MYSELF,  I CHECK THE BLOGS EVERYDAY. NO DAYS ARE DIFFERENT FOR ME BUT I DID NOTICE A PATTERN WITH THE SITES TO NOT POST ON THE WEEKENDS. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS DO YOU NOT LOOK TO READ MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT BLOGS ON THE WEEKENDS AND IF SO WHY?

TALK TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. NEVER HOME ON THE WEEKEND, OR TO DRUNK TO READ

  2. I read everyday like you JD. I have to keep up…know what’s happening.

  3. The blogs get me through my week. It’s a source of entertainment and an outlet during the work week. When I have time to just do me though, I do me.

  4. No i’m always out on da weekend, out party wit da girls or wit my boyfriend. i’ll read music & enterainment blogs on monday.

  5. I look to read them because I like to read. I need to know what’s going on.

  6. I run google analytics on my blog and I pay attention to the numbers. Fri-Sun my site hits are about 25% of mon- thurs daily hits. I can even say that the time I post a blog during the day affects readership. All this means to me is that folks read my stuff at work or at school. I am the same way, on the weekends I am out living my life so reading blogs is not necessary to fill in the slow times of day.

    The other thing to factor in is that many folks still lack high speed Internet access or even a computer at home. And many who do may only use them during the week for work related activities. On the weekends I may check out blogs while on the subway or while on a trip but other than that it’s rare unless I am grinding out two or three blogs for myself to post during the week.

    But I learned not to wast good material by posting fri-sun because most of my readers don’t try to catch up on old topics unless I have a racy title.

  7. My surfing habits don’t change from one day to the next. In fact I’ll be on more during the week-ends since I’m not at work. But then again I have no access at work which I understand makes me part of a minority more and more these days so I could see how blog viewing would be higher during week days.

    Gonna go have sex now.

  8. I check regardless of the day of the week. I used it as a break from school work when there’s nothing on tv that interests me. And now that winter is trying to come early here, I’ll probably check certain blogs more often.

  9. no not really cuz weeknds are days just to relax, even blogging gotta give it a rest

  10. Some folks don’t have access to computers so on the weekend at home and wait til they get work to log to website

  11. personally I read on the weekends just as much, but I can see people being hungover or just moving around more on the weekend

  12. I check the blogs daily. I like to be updated on whats going on. Be in the kno. Alot happens on the weekend… I would think you get the most hits then, if you really in the loop. 🙂

  13. Hows the expo going JD?

  14. i check it no matter what day it is i like to know what is going on in the blog world

  15. I stay surfing daily. I have my time set aside where I make sure to check my favorite sites. But having a blog myself I do notice that the traffic is lower. So unless it’s major news most people are spending time with the family & other things. Yet for me it does not matter. I stay up to the minute, updated.

  16. I THINK IT’S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE NOT BEING HOME…WE WANT TO PARTY!! ; )

  17. TO BE HONEST MOST THE PEOPLE I KNOW GO HAM EVERYDAY!!!! EVEN DURING VACATION

  18. I CHECK OUT BLOGS DAILY

  19. Their are certain sites that i go to everyday! And i go to them in a order like this livemixtapes.com,bossip.com, myspace,youtube,global14,facebook and twitter. I get on the computer everyday just so i dont miss anything like on livemixtapes they have where you jus go to the new so if i dont catch the new i have to go threw all the mixtapes. Or if i dont go on bossip ill have to go back 3,4 pages and i dont feel like doin that. Plus i like to be on the new stuf before everybody else. Like #Biem

  20. I don’t spend time on internet during weekends, I rather party my boys, chill with a girl, record tracks, well a lot of others things I can’t do on week days because of work. I actually just check my fb page or myspace sometimes but i don’t stay that much on it.

  21. I only check blogs when I was bored at work and glued to the desk. Otherwise, I don’t care to take the time to be bothered with the sniping and bickering.

    Which leads me to the idea that humanity will always sink to the lowest common denominator when somewhat anonymous. People are mean and nasty as hell when online.

  22. I read them cuz its them same as any other day

  23. Hello, long time.- Call wifey when you get a chance, her number is on our website or you can email her, but we have a few question that maybe you can answer before we take the next step in the business that we want your input on.

  24. i check the BLOGs daily…like mymorning news…lol (But ish happens all the time…we like 2 stay ahead of the game..who wants 2 hear yesterday’s news @day;-)

  25. I’m never home at the weekends .

    U got a fan from Portugal , u and the whole Ocean’s crew

  26. p.s. I just looked at the posting and I noticed that the d and the n in the email is reversed. Her name is Wendy, not Wedny, sorry

  27. cause most folks only use computer at work and they usually work during the week and weekends usually not occupied at the computer so therefore a big dropoff on weekend surfing

  28. I read blogs n all that during the weekend. I might read them less cuz I’m out n about but I still try to go online in read.

  29. i used to not check on the weekends because i would only read blogs when i was bored at work but now i check my regulars everyday just to see whats up. And some DONT update that often on weekends which puts them lower on my list. Im on here 7-8 times a day! lol

  30. IMA DEDICATED READER IT DNT MATTER THE DAY IM ALWAYS ON THE NET !!! YA DIG
    VEGAS #1LIFER <<< YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP FOLLOW YA GRL PPL @PUTSACPOCEANS
    MWAAHHHH 🙂

  31. I like reading them everyday because I like to keep up with what’s going on. I feel if I check them on the weekends that I’m only getting half the information. So I like checking them everyday.

  32. I read this Global14 daily…topics are always interesting, and your posting capture my attention. It shows the real you…not the celebrity, but the human being: son, father, friend… I love that.

  33. I only go to 2 blog sites, G14 and Life files, and thts done on work time….sad but true! Weekends, I’m not on the cpu!! Thts me time!!!

  34. i check blogs everyday i don’t care what day it is i do it all day i love blogs but i will say this on the weekend i wont come check what other people has writing pertaining to a certain blog if i’m busy going out but before i go to bed every night i check blogs. this one concreetloop and ybf the rest i don’t go to unless someone tell something interesting is on there..

  35. I do look to read blogs on the weekend. I try to keep up with what I may have missed during the week, and any new posts. I am a homebody, so, I stay on the internet.

    If you do not post on the weekend it will drive traffic during the weekdays. (for example, if your favorite store is open mon thru friday… u can only shop on those days. but if your store is open 24/07 u can shop whenever.. (Wal-mart get lots of traffic because it is open 24/07)

    Mon-Fri posting seems to get more traffic. But in reality, posting daily can get the most traffic if you use excellent techniques to get traffic to your site.

    For instance, JD. If you had live chat capabilities where you can interact with bloggers as well as bloggers interacting with each other in live chat. (similar to twitter)
    Also, if you posted on weekends and commented on weekends to bloggers posts, your site will have traffic jams…

    From experience, when I see that u just commented online on Twitter, I constantly hit u up with tweets, hoping to get a response. One time, I was lucky and u tweeted back. U see, people want to
    interact with u in real time.

    Do a survey of the comments people have left on Global14 about you responding back… they want you to comment in real time.. if they know you may comment back at any given time , they will stay on your site…..

    Also, remember with technology now, such as WIFI u can be out partying and still check out Global14 and any other site. DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF TO MON-FRI…BRING POST TO US EVERYDAY…. INTERACT LIVE AS MODERATOR … AND LOADS OF TRAFFIC WILL JAM PACK YOUR SITE….

  36. I check my sites every day…. Maybe i dont have a life LOL but i havta kno wuts going on………. :o)

  37. BEING THAT I;M A DJ I READ THEM EVERYDAY TO SEE WHAT’S NEW IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY WHEATHER ITS MUSIC,FASHION.OR JUST NEWS I’M ON THESE SITES 7 DAYS A WEEK.

  38. *hey east*

    I am nosey as hell and don’t have much of a social life lol esp now that its about to be cold so my nosey azz is on line lookin for the 411 even on weekend and Necole updates her site on the weekends

  39. I don’t read them every weekend because i’m always on the go. It’s easier to read during the week because im usually at work or there’s nothing really going on during the week.

  40. People are out doing stuff on the weekend. Most people surf the net at work which explains why the weekend is slow. Plus entertainment bloggers are all out on the weekend covering all the events that happen. This weekend being slow is something that’s been true for the internet for the last 15 years.

    I think the two biggest days for traffic is usually Monday and Thursday. Monday, people check to see what happen on the weekend. Thursday people are look to see what to do on the weekend.

  41. i want to read i everyday. something goes on everyday so why post things on the weekend as well. that;s when everything goes down. nobody want to wait until monday to read it.

  42. I read blog sites everyday I wish more blogs would update on the weekend

  43. well….I can’t say I don’t cause i do…try to see what’s new…but I know for sure that sundays they don’t post anything up…..Saturdays some do..

  44. Only yours & we know why.

  45. we busy living our life on the weekend..when it’s time to work..that’s when I 🙂 like to read the blogs 🙂 lol

  46. im always checking in no matter what day it is.
    i get that some people are out and about doing things though or have no net access outside of work….i like to know whats goin on though.

  47. all day err day!! Im back Liferz!!!!

  48. i am with you jd i try to read everday,,,,if i don’t i feel empty…..so keep posting on the weekends….chow

  49. I am on during the week but more on the weekend. I guess I need to get a life

  50. Not as much on the weekend cause im not at work. Looking at blogs is busy work to keep the day going by at work but on the weekend when everything is happening u dont think about it.

  51. well i try 2 check the blogs all the time, but being in skool i really dont hav time like i use to….on the weekends is whn i do most of my studyin anyway…so lookin @ blogs on the weekend i dont necessarily do all the time

  52. I dont read the music blog’s too much. I make music everyday. I’m sitting on over 100 tracks that are ready to go. I’m coming to ATL end of this month. Keep your ears open for 747 Productions.

    Holla

  53. I must admit I’m a little addicted to the blogs, so I check them everyday. I gots to know whats going on like someone posted early…I’m to nosey….lol

  54. I guess it depends.but the majority of people do not check it on weekends, it is pretty much the days when all the rotine changes, ”bed time”, go out, gym etc etc.. But for, in this case, the real lifers it is the same.

  55. i really dnt chk bekause im always out on the wkends, but i have chked maybe once or twice out the mnth on wkends if im not busy

  56. I read blogs everyday. I think bloggers are sensitive to the fact that niggas check blogs when they are bored at work and don’t have internet at home, so they can’t check on the weekends.

  57. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON ANY GIVEN DAY SO WHY WOULD PEOPLE NOT CHECK THE BLOGS EVERYDAY? I KNOW I CHECK GLOBAL14 EVERY DAMN DAY!

  58. Yo what up!!!!! j.d the oceans is crazy!!!!
    Boy I’m new to all this I love your you tube
    and your an inspiration to me real talk
    but ya I’m following on Twitter aswell
    BRING_THA_NOISE. Look out for me
    keep it up love the blogs ppl say crazy
    ass shit lol DO WORK HOMIE!!!!

  59. My work week is Sun-Thurs and that is when I usually read blogs the most. Sitting in front of the computer 40 hrs per wk, I don’t feel like it on my days off.

  60. I am on blogs on the weekend. The weekend is when most people have time to play around online.

  61. I HAVE MY FAVS…. LIKE GLOBAL14 THAT I CHECK DAILY.

  62. It’s simple JD. Ppl r out partying and chillin’ and the blogs and music sights never post new shit. Sometimes it can go on for 2 weeks. It gets annoying as shit, but what can we do but wait? lol

  63. And I look at the blogs 24/7 everyday after work JD. It gets me away from the workday that I’ve had in the previous hours.

  64. Honestly, I don’t really fuck with blogs…. this is actually the only blog that I check faithfully…. however, it’s as I have time.

  65. Well personally, i read them shits everyday too. Im on global 14, concreteloop, worldstar, vladtv, and hiphopdx everday.lol. i gotta kno whats goin on. And the fuked up part about it is that i check all them shits about 10 times a day each. Imma blog feen!lol pause

  66. The weekend is a day for relaxing and read about other thinks like how the economy is rhe stock market and really just sleeply and relaxing after you hung out saturday night into sunday

    LMAO, USHER’S RA LUV

  67. It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is….if I’m a frequent visitor of a website, then i check up on it not even being conscious of the day and/or time

  68. i think its beacuse people go out on the weekends and are hardly home and if they are home its not for long..while dureing the week teens are on after school or w/e and adults are on sometimes at work…or on break..ita a to pass the time during the week while one has no time on weekends

  69. Well, I will read blogs if I am in front of my computer but if I’m not home (weekend or otherwise), it is not getting read. I read blogs after checking my email.

    As for others, you don’t really need analysis to know that most of the people that frequent blogs do so while at work (and probably school). Thus, most of those people work M-F during the day. No coincidence that responses are so heavy during that time. There are always exceptions but the people who will read on Sat or Sun will probably read M-F but the converse is not necessarily true. So Necole was right on holding the story until Monday for max exposure.

  70. I mostly read blogs (or being on twitter…) when I am at school in a quit break during classes or when I am studying at the library, and sometimes home (when the computer is available). It just happens that most of the time during the weekend your schedule is not the same (maybe all days are the same for you JD)…Often it is more difficult to keep up with the blogs on weekends unless you have internet on your phone.

    Since I have internet on my phone, I check blogs more often because I don’t need to be in front of a computer…I can check things wherever I am (in the bus, home, at school…) so there is always some time to do it on weekends too. But then again, if your phone is slow like mine you’ll check the blog but there are chances you won’t respond to what is posted though.

  71. Well most people are a little busier on the weekend, and have there own things going on. But believe come Monday morning I’m right back at it

  72. sometimes i read on the weeknds but usually i dnt be home. However there are the times when im clikcing on a link tht reads someone doing something or dealing with electronics..

  73. i check everyday, but i could see why some sites would do that. with a lot of people who might only check at work because they dont have a computer or whatever, so you wanna make sure he keep stuff to entertain them during the week, but i dont know, them stats sound flawed. its just a blog. i couldnt imagine no one not having an extra 15 minutes somewhere in their weekend.

  74. EVERYDAY FOR ME JD..LOL!!!

  75. I go 24-7 with it. Phone. Laptop. etc. I’m an information consuming beast, so, the day of the week, or time of day for that matter, is essentially meaningless to me. And I Live-Life to the fullest too.
    ~Brylan Charles

  76. thats kind of true…i’m usually gigging on the weekends so not really inclined to get up with the weekend hype on blogs. with that said, its Saturday morning after a gig (2000 strong) and i’m on here seeing whats up, but thats just limited to global14…real talk

  77. man jd u give us everyday some new things so we gotta check up DAILY!!!!

  78. JD,

    I read your blog because you update every day. The number one thing that drives me crazy about some blogs is they DON’T update on the weekends. When I am out and about if I am waiting somewhere on the weekend I use my iPhone to check the blogs. On weekends it’s like everything stops. When big stories happen on Friday I have to wait till Monday to get the story. I don’t think some bloggers want to work on the weekend. That along with they have advertising sponsors so they need to get those hits to keep that sponsor.

    Keep posting cause we here everyday.

  79. I know a lot of people who go on the computer and read the forums or blogs when they are at work LOL! NO LIE, if you poll who are on the internet you will get a lot of people who are on work hours LOL

  80. well I rather read the blog on the weekend but thats just because I got no time during the week, college and work takes all of my time. so when im home on the weekends i get to read all the updates and stuff on the blogs, but necole was right no one really updates blogs on the weekend because theyre busy doing other things, ltheyre living their lives and so they aint taking their time reading the blogs on the weekends but rather do it at work. i mean i could take my time to read the blogs during the week but i dont wanna be in a rush and hurry I wanna relax, take my time and enjoy all the new things written on the blogs. so the only thing i do during the week is twitter and facebook for quick updates

  81. Hey JD
    my name is ilyas i´m from germany and i like you i like you style i like you music
    every day i watch living the life on youtube
    peace out and peace for the ocean crew

  82. It’s been that way for a while… To my disbelief you still have people who don’t have a PC at home… That’s why blogs just don’t update on the weekend, as traffic indeed is sliced in half…

  83. Well i dnt read blogs evaday bcause i’m not interestin in nuttin but so so def!!! and a lil here and there. so 4 u…get so so def up n runnin i’m hungry 2 c so so def make it rain AGAIN!

  84. I read blogs almost everyday…it depend if out shopping or spending time with the family. I ususally check the blog Sunday evening.

    Then again I read the blog whenever I can, I usually think the blog lack good topic overthe weekend I would expect some juices topic on the weekend but there never anything good to checkout or keep me interestered.

  85. I only read the blogs on my down time at work. I work on computers for a living so on the weekend I dont even pull the laptop out unless I am trying to get info on what I am trying to do for the night. The same with Facebook and any other website. Well then again I am always on youtube 24/7. DAMN i wish I was the one who came up with that idea. I know they are making a killing!!!!!!

  86. Jermaine, I don’t know. Like, you’re the only person’s website I go too for Blogs. Basically you’re the only person’s blogs that I’m interested in and that I read… I guess this Site that I’m about too mention, which is Twitter, I know it isn’t a blog, but already gives you the updates… But on Twitter, when I get the update that you are about too post a Blog on GLOBAL14, then I just hop on this website! It doesn’t matter to me what day or time… It could be December 25, 2009 at 5:30am and I will still just pop-up and view the blog. It’s called dedication. Be dedicated to the blogs you read and comment on! 🙂

  87. I do read them every day, cause it’s just a habit. I’ll go to my Twitter, FaceBook, here, YouTube, & THEN do my work. Lol. Yes, I still get shit done, but I just go to those first. I might miss a weekend from being out & about with the crew, but the next time I get on, I’ll catch up from where I last left off.

    I am very Charismatic; & I approve this message

  88. I read the blog sites every day. But I do remember when Bow wow was about to tell us he signed to cash money on twitter he said that his management or whatever they said no because the press is not really open on the weekends so they said wait until monday and on monday all the blog sites were reporting that. But on the weekend it’s not alot of news like on concreteloop or Necolebitchie they are the two blogsites I vist daily. Sometimes Sandra Rose but I dont really like her cause of how she be talking about people I like and talking about our president she is a HATER Lol. But other than that every other blogsite is cool with me check them every day.

  89. I read the blogs every day and have the nerve to get irritated when I don’t fine new info on the weekend!

  90. There’s only a limited amount of blogs that I check on a daily basis & even if I’m out and about and busy during the regular week & on the weekends, I still make it a point to peep my head in just so that I don’t miss anything.
    JD, U really are 1 of the only blogs that keeps us updated EVERY DAY so kudos to you & don’t ever stop that. Even if the #’s ain’t the same, there are still those of us that keep it goin up in here, even if we are sometimes tardy to the party LOL! 😀

  91. I look into the industry everyday since I’m working and have been for years to get out there myself. I like to see where we’re headed trendwise and try to keep my music similar/different too so all news related is more than an interest to me it IS A LIFE

  92. well for me being a 19 year old college student im usually out. (money is low, so im in this weekend lol) but going on blogs on the weekend isnt really something i do because im usually out.
    but if i do, i glance than leave. but now that u say that, i notice that too alot of headlines will say, over the weekend…and stuff like that

  93. i’ll only read it if it’s about usher lol …..

  94. cause these muthafuckaz aint got internet access at home so they wait to go to work and use it

  95. I check the entertainment sites every day..my faves r this one, mediatakeout/fakeout..sandrarose.com..necolebitchie..bossip..n concreteloop..But i think most ppl use it as a form of entertainment not just news and during the wkend most ppl are out doing other things and True Queen i think some ppl use the site to pass time at work..if u have a job where u got that kind of downtime

  96. well i personally dont really check blogs on the weekends because im too busy being out and about and sleeping in…but on the weekdays i check it more because im on the computer more.

  97. I check everyday to see if anything is post or vids

  98. WELL, ON THE WEEKENDS I BE BUSSY DOING MY CHORES, DOING MY HOMEWORK, DOING MY HAIR AND ECT. I BE ON THE COMPUTER FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES IN THE WEEKENDS DEPENDS ON IF I’M NOT BUSSY. I COME TO YOUR BLOG ALMOST EVERY WEEK DAYS J.D., BUT ON THE WEEKENDS, YOU DON’T PUT A LOT UP.

  99. CAUSE I GOT SHIT TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS…BLOGS HELP ME GET THROUGH THE WORK WEEK

  100. i check em when ican cauz i dont gots d net a d krib
