  5. The questions on how to deal with the search engines, how to increase our rankings and get to the top of search lists are serious and actual to everyone.
    It is good to read fully open sharing of personal insights on that theme. However, one thing worries me. It looks that the most are concern just with increasing the publicity but not the level of personal relationships.
    I am deeply convinced that the search engines are just tools to meet with each other, but not our primary goals.
    The design of the letter is always the secondary; the main thing is our relationships. I am interested not so much in increasing my mailing list (that is good of it self) but in building on friendship that was already made.

  12. Uh oh Robert, #2 on your list caught in a subscriber fudged number scandal:
    http://www.nik.com.au/archives/2007/01/04/lies-damn-lies-and-subscriber-counts/

    Also find it interesting that of your top 20, only two are single author blogs (Rubel and Web Strategy by Jereimiah). If I mislabeled another single author blog in your top 20, please correct.

    Not a criticism, but an observation based on this data: seems like you prefer to link/share content from firehose publications — those with multiple authors and many, many posts per day — versus those from single authors.

    This provides value to those who would rather get someone else’s view of the best of these overactive pubs. I see this as a benefit that people like you, Robert, are helping to filter these signals.

  16. Why bother AOL massive user search query leak when you have a tool like this? It should be pretty obvious that any blogger does vanity read (for validation sometimes), and this pretty much gives his identity.

    Of course, since anyone sharing his read items pretty much gives his identity anyway (as in Robert Scoble’s link blog), this does not seem to matter much at first sight.

    But, look the bigger picture, and see how all this information from Google Reader users could be aggregated by Google (or some other company) yet still retain the finest granularity level. This my friends competes with AOL massive user search leak.

    It smells a bit ironical that so much people careful of their privacy would want to give it away like that…

  18. LayZ: where’s your link blog? Seems you only like to throw bombs but you don’t actually do anything of your own.

    I bet your boss really loves you if you carry this attitude toward work. I wonder if you actually do ANYTHING? How do you survive at work?

  22. I’m looking forward to some cypher-punk (yes, cypher) dystopian future, blade runner kind of Internet where Scoble will be blogging for the Tyrell Corporation and socialism will be the dominant form of government. There will be cameras everywhere and the government will be blogging us. Google ads for offworld ho’s and escapes to other planets.

  24. @22 Not only do you dictate HOW bloggers and companies should blog,but now you determine THE BEST of the blogosphere? Wow! How do you handle the responsibility. I had no idea you were the designated filter for the blogosphere. :-)
