Speedlinking – 22 July 2007
- Get your Red WordPress T-Shirts – now available.
- Chris G ponders the topic of Short Term Gains vs Long Term Value in blogging and observes some bloggers going for instant gratification – perhaps at the expense of long term benefits.
- One of my favorite blogs, Slacker Manager, has just been sold (to b5media) and it’s old owner (brendon) is looking for a new author. A great opportunity to take over the writing of a very established blog with a sizeable readership (over 8000 RSS subscribers).
- One Man’s Goal asks Does Monetizing Your Blog Cost You Readers?
- Web Worker Daily has a useful post for Firefox users with 6 Firefox Extensions for Web Workers. There’s a couple there that I’m going to try!
- One last question for the day – Scott Karp asks whether Newspapers should become local blog networks?

I think I should go back and read your posts about converting readers to subscribers ;-) I’ve been having a lot of traffic in the last couple of months and my RSS are just creeping up.
About newspapers, that is an interesting conversation. I like the distinction made on definitions. Not long ago, I talked about the new role of media http://www.conversationagent.com/2007/04/media_as_connec.html
Quick question to you and your readers:
How do you transition a popular blog? How do you divorce the voice that made it popular from the blog successfully? Isn’t the blog successful *because* of the blogger?

Great links, but I just wanted to let you know that you have a typo:
“Does Monestizing your blog…”

I’ve got to add that Wordpress tee to my wish list along with a Google tee I’ve been meaning to get! :)
btw. Thanks so much for the Blogging Groove posts, I’ve been trying to follow along every day and today I did a pretty long review post (a little behind but it’s there) :)

Thanks for the second interesting link about Gains vs. Value. Some discussions can help us to improve our blog.

I like speedlinking. I’m not sure I have seen it before, but it looks like a great way to make a content-filed post concisely.
