For awhile I thought that the blogosphere was too diluted. I started a blog just to test out the waters. Internet could be completely different in 5 years. http://www.socialsciencemedley.com/ Interesting that you shared this insight. For awhile I thought that the blogosphere was too diluted.

A small percentage of them actually read.

I think your blog on this matter here is a prime example of it.Nevertheless, your post was an insightful and well-written read. Thank you for sharing it.

Ask yourself if you rather be someone whose voice is heard or just another blogger commenting among 154 comments on a blog. ;-) Interesting post, don’t give up just yet.

Shame I only came across it today. Last month I observed and wrote about what I call "Blog Pockets", i.e. when you come across the same blogrolls over and over again. Once you enter one of those pockets it's difficult to escape it. My observation supports what Kent writes, that you "get the haves linking to one another (and largely only to one another) and ignoring (or at best tolerating) the have nots".I put the existence blog pockets down to three things: 1. the blogroll function itself, 2. the need for peer recognition (the higher ranked your peer the better), and 3. the way blog search engines rank posts (most read ranks higher).Point 3. highlights the need for quality content to be recognised as such, but who - in an effort to get in with the A-listers - would link to a Z-lister, even if he or she had some good content? In an ideal world such interlinking would happen, but aren't we all influenced by the Technorati and Alexa page ranks? Very interesting post. Shame I only came across it today.

It provides me with focus and I don't run the risk of going astray. Stay on target is my mantra.In re blog promotion: I don't actively go out of my way to self-promote. I may have mentioned it to a handful of friends and I do link to it on one or two bulletin board that I participate on, but other than that, most of the people who've viewed and responded to the blog have been via my participation as a regular commentator on other blogs. It would be nice to be acknowledged and validated by the masses, yes. In the meantime, I'll settle for peace on earth and goodwill towards men. ;) Very interesting read.For me, I think it has to do primarily with –a) whether you have anything worth saying;b) whether you can say “it” in a way that hasn’t been said before; ORc) whether you can be true to your voice without diluting it in the hopes of satiating the content monster.I find that keeping myself limited to three or four topics works wonders.
