Weblogs

LISTEN TO ME PLEASE!

Susan asks; I deliver. I actually think it's far easier to be heard if you start a blog now. For one thing, people are trained to find and read blogs. And there are so many great tools for tracking and discovering them.
When I first started blogging it was in 2005 or so for BusinessWeek and it was impossible to get readers to discover you, even on a huge huge platform. I just started this blog less than a month ago, only have a few people linking to me, and have done little in the way of syndication, and I'm nearing 20,000 page views. That's insane!!

The journalist in me is a little creeped out by agreements to link to one another. I tend to link to friends though because I like them and find them interesting, and that's why I would want people linking to me. Not because of some cabal.

Another great surprise has been how many comments I'm getting!! Again, at BusinessWeek it seemed like we never got them. 90% of the fun of blogging is the interaction.
