On my mind today: I have this frequent conversation with one of my pals regarding her website.  She wants to do these lengthy explanations of things, not try to direct her site visitors down any specific path.  Which would be great - if she were running an information site, making some revenue from ads on the side.  But she's not, she's a real estate agent, trying to persuade people to do business with her.

If you're not trying to persuade someone to do something, why do you have a website?

We go back and forth about what makes a site "sticky."  I'll describe some feature or widget as "very clicky" and she'll ask me why that's a good thing.

Very simply put -> if they're not clicking, you've stopped communicating.

Clicky is good

Clicky means you've got a conversation going

People stop clicking either because they didn't find what they wanted, or because they found exactly what they wanted.  Which hopefully was you, or something you've got.

Kelley-  Found this post on Twitter!  I'd love to make my site clickier and stickier--if my webmaster would just stick to our schedule I might have a fighting chance.

Since I clicked over to here from Twitter, I can say that your conversation there is definitely "going."

Kelly, I would also like to make my site more clicky and sticky.  I feel as though it is a constant work in progress.
