Blogequity
One of my favorite things about the whole blog movement is that every bloggers opinion matters. Sure, there are blogosphere celebrities, and there are celebrities with blogs, but in a lot of ways joeshmoe.blogspot.com's posts are just as important and relevant as Lawrerence Lessig's. There are really 2 ways to measure clout in the blog community: (well, three is you count Blogshares) Linkage and hit-count. And the way to generate links and hits is to produce CONTENT that drives your readers. It is like "Field of Dreams:" If you blog it, they will come. So it is extremely edifying for me when I see that my idol blogged about the "new uses for camera-phones"the day after I did. I also feel better when even a celebrity has questions about the best way to implement content (not to mention the same Blogger difficulties and desire for MovableType that I'm dealing with.) I have seen a pretty dramatic increase in HITS over the past couple of days, and A LOT of it is being generated via Greg's link on our brewing page : www.emptryboxbrewing.blogspot.com. We will see if these hits turn into READERS. So, if your new to the 'Hat and you've come by via Emptybox, let me know what you think.
