Tara is a hero of mine. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the echo chamber and mental masturbation of link love at the cost of good quality content. I’m trying to keep Cost Per News apart from that, but I have my moments (hours?) of weakn…

Techmeme *is* largely a game. Anyone can be on Techmeme any day if they just want to find the latest upcoming stories and put a few thoughts together and link to all the others who are discussing it. BORING. ECHO CHAMBER. CHEASY. I did it for a while too, and it almost killed blogging for me. Now I post about what I want to post about - MUCH more fun. And much more interesting to read, I think.

BORING. ECHO CHAMBER. CHEASY.

I did it for a while too, and it almost killed blogging for me. Now I post about what I want to post about – MUCH more fun.

And much more interesting to read, I think.

I am very much with you on this…I just need to think about I saw now rather the churning out the usual crap!

I’m still with you, although I haven’t changed over to your new feed yet (soz!)

Keep rocking!

I can totally relate... Ever since I started freelancing, I just haven't had the time to keep up to the 100 blogs I subscribe to. I just keep an eye on a few of my favourites (yourself included, obviously). But I think this has only made me a better blogger. Sure, the topics I'm writing about lately may not be part of the "conversation", but that just means I'm writing about tangible ideas that can stand on their own without requiring people to read all the other blogs on my blogroll. This is fine by me - I find the "conversation" is getting a bit boring anyway. That’s great, Tara.

Wordpress, statistics and original content is in your entry being mixed up like horses, pigs and cows. Creative, yes, but if the main message is that one wants to create original, even paradigm-shifting content, then I think there is too much salt and pepper in using 40% of the argument in terms of technorati, changing feedburners and such. Yet, this is also what happens with my experience around corporate blogging. Too often one talks about the blog ("In our blog we would like to ..." etc.) instead of talking through the blog. Perhaps one day we will have real artists, Van Goghs, Gaugins, Mozarts and such people blogging: not talking about their works and that they want to be original - but just being original no matter what specialist opinion makers or echoing masses have to say. I am not aware of a blog-artists like that yet, but perhaps horsepigcow would have a headstart compared to other bloggers when it comes to reaching that stage. Good luck, David I don’t get it.
