If you use LinkedIn, GoToSocial, and Bluesky... Enjoy!

Update: After some DKIM, DMARC, and SPF updates... I'm 99% done with my Akamai Linode Cloud self-hosted listmonk implementation thanks to the wonders of containers, open source, and my Google Gemini Gem(s). It will probably take ~3 weeks to "warm up" my Fudge Factor subscriber list but I'll be closer to POSSE than I've been in several years.
Happy New Year!
Oh no... it's the dreaded year in review post.
I've been writing daily for years and can't recall the last time I took a break. I've been late to send or had a few technical hiccups but otherwise... typing and sending.
This year I stopped attempting LinkedIn Newsletters. I decided POSSE, n8n, and python scripts would be my approach to sharing as LinkedIn posts instead with options for Fediverse (originally Mastodon now GoToSocial) and Bluesky.
My LinkedIn traffic was lower this year with only 179,507 Impressions, 4,713 Engagements, and 3,253 Profile Viewers. I set a mini-goal of reaching 6,000 followers by the end of 2025 and as of this email I am sitting at around 5,985.
Oddly enough, my three most popular posts on LinkedIn in 2025 were one mistakenly late published article... and two copy/paste from my actual newsletter / blog.
When I look at the entire year of posts, my reach spikes significantly when I am a "live reporter" for industry events like Tech Field Day, All Things AI, CISE, SXSW, etc.
I traveled a lot this year and reached Diamond levels on Delta, Hilton, and Marriott. So, if that travel level continues in 2026, perhaps I'll be seeing more spikes in my reach.
As for writing in 2026, I might slow it down a bit. My formulaic approach for Hot Fudge Daily lasted for well over a year but I missed Fudge Factor nerdy stuff.

most of my social media was nuked from orbit but I'll see if I can find the backups... but based on just my blog and newsletter output...

Prompt: Create a dual-axis chart comparing Google+ (red) and Google Gemini (blue) across three phases: Launch Phase, Active/Standalone Peak, and Total Ecosystem Reach. Use a grouped bar chart for Monthly Active Users (Millions) on the primary Y-axis with data points for G+ [25, 300, 540] and Gemini [90, 650, 2000]. Overlay trend lines for Average Session Duration (Minutes) on the secondary Y-axis with data points for G+ [0.5, 0.1, 0.05] and Gemini [3.0, 11.0, 1.5]. Annotate all bars and line points with their respective values and include a clear legend.
