A Blogger's Big-Fish Fantasy
from the blogging-publicity? dept
People looking for analogies love to say that bloggers are really "exhibitionists" at heart (or is that "textibitionists"?), so they tend to like a bigger crowd checking out what they're writing each day. So, I'm sure all of bloggerdom is going crazy about the latest NY Times ode to bloggers where they talk about how less well known bloggers try to get attention. Apparently, one way is to get your blog mentioned in a NY Times article. Thanks goodness there's an article about blogging that finds some non-A-list blogs to talk about, though, they do still quote a few of the usual crowd to get their opinion. I sometimes wonder if major media sources just write these articles to get the deluge of traffic from the various blog links.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
