The last seven days are now showing 149,000 views!

Although I’ve not gotten any cash back from them as yet, I’m dead chuffed to see from the stats that 11,000 odd folk have seen my stuff via Reuters in the last week.

I sort-of half the impression that this is a site that will be very worthwhile being listed by in due course as the number of viewers of my site via their syndication has gone up drastically in the last few weeks. On the assumption that my writing hasn’t become suddenly much more attractive, it implies that they’re really getting somewhere with their marketing.

A very well written article on what should be important to bloggers as well as the impact that blogburst represents. In my opinion too many bloggers lose the focus of what separates them from the pack, how they create this separation, and why they are in existence in the first place.

Radical transparency is the currency of the blogishphere. What separates “us” is our willingness and appetite for “telling it like it is” without editors-bosses-media conglomerates censoring our efforts.

The separation from bloggers only interested in monitization and bloggers who are creative in expressing their “voice”, is content. Bloggers who express their voice with passion crush most of the “money for your blog” authors that litter the landscape.

Why are bloggers in existence with a blogisphere in the first place? Because of the censorship experienced by the mass media during the 9/11 tragedy. Blogging was the source of liberal voices throughout America. It was a call to arms and the birth of “citizen journalism” as we know it today.

Congratulations on a great explanation of blogburst and blogging.
