Yes, Mike K. has been a gracious mentor and generouse friend to me. He is a tremendous encouragement and all-around good sport about our friendly competition. His blog has grown exponentially, which has had a corollary effect on my blog’s growth. I’m glad to be on his coat tails.

Yet another day, yet another awesome post from Mr. Rowse (how do you do it, man?).

Darren has a great post up today on When Blog Competition is Good.

While admitting that he has felt threatened at times, he goes on to outline a number of benefits…

My friend and me started our blogs just about the same time acouple of months ago. We constantly try to help each other out and promote each others blogs. I think having a “blog buddy” is an excelent way to keep you on your toes and it has definately helped me improve.

I actually created my biggest “competitor.” I had a great reader who constantly posted great stuff, so I suggested she start a blog about Netflix as well (I even gave her advice on how to start it). Her blog, http://netflixfan.blogspot.com, is an excellent compliment to mine and we link to each other. We have different views and experiences, and rarely duplicate our posts.

I think having another blogger covering Netflix has only helped both of us by motivating and increasing the quality of our work (as mentioned in the previous comments and Darren’s post).

It was funny that both of our sites were featured at the same time by our blogging software companies (HackingNetflix by TypePad and Netflix Fan by Blogger).

I would rather “compete” against a friend than an unknown.

Blogs and Competition
Not too long ago I talked about competing with Weblogs, Inc. and Gawker (forgot to mention the empire that Corante has built) has setup as well and noted that there is always room for one more blog in any market….

One of your finest posts in how to deal with competitors, personally I always find it makes me work harder, which actually produces a better product and pushes me to high standards and levels, and so far, so good, I always seem to win out, but to be honest I’m not sure how I’d handle losing.
