Is this thing on?

October 29, 2008 by Johnny

One of the things that sucks about blogging is that it sometimes feels like you’re talking to an empty room. Unless you’re a big-time blogger (imagine the chicks you’d get with that accolade!), you get a few comments here and there, but all in all, it’s like someone broke in to your online diary and scribbled something in what is otherwise a void.

So in addition to asking my readers to keep telling people how awesome I am, to sign up for my newsletter, and to sign their friends up for my newsletter without asking their permission, I’m going to participate in Chuck Westbrook’s experiment to find readers for great content, which this site clearly has in spades.

This is clearly an expedient publicity method for me, because there are already over 40 participants. Since a new blog is chosen every two weeks, I’m thinking I’m going to see a spike in my popularity circa 2010. So badass.

I read it daily.. now you need to update it daily…
and if you are so needy for me to write a comment daily, just to let you know that I am reading it, I will…
Keep it up!!

Ha, what a dick. I’m not so needy as to require pity comments, but you can Digg, Stumble, and whatever else this stuff until the cows come home by using the sharing links at the end of each post. I am THAT needy.
