Comments on: Being Sold (Out): Showing and Telling http://www.epiblogger.net/being-sold-out-showing-and-telling/ The organic centre of blogging Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:42:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Rhett Soveran http://www.epiblogger.net/being-sold-out-showing-and-telling/#comment-1380 Rhett Soveran Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:22:46 +0000 http://www.epiblogger.net/?p=287#comment-1380 Thanks Kev. I was thinking today whether or not it was correct for me to play organic blogging as being counter-culture, but it seems to me it was correct. It is counter-culture to actively seek community without the direct desire to exploit it. Maybe that seems a bit harsh and each of us will have to decide our own limits, but it seems to me that there is a kernel of truth in there. Thanks Kev.

Speechless! Your style (and organic blogging fullstop) connects with the reader on a far deeper level. You are truly giving a peice of yourself rather than just letting the cogs turn to rank up the amount of subscribers. I am aware there are Web sites out there which use tried and tested methods to link bait and offer a specific type of Blog reader "how to's" on making cash, blah, blah, blah - but do you really want to snare those [what would you call them Rhett? > douches?] any way? Wow. Poignant. Speechless!
