The Power of the Link

Jason Calacanis wrote this detailed diagram of how to make him happy via a link to his blog. They include quotes, references, descriptions, and/or inclusions of the varied places he's got content throughout the web. These principles will probably work for most people as long as they're keeping track.

Calacanis link-baiting rules

I've developed some deep relationships over the past couple of years blogging and I realize that those relationships manifest themselves in the links I find when I do my 28x a daily ego search over at Technorati.

Heck, even posting a comment here--the second best way to develop a relationship with me--is weak when compared to the power of the link.

2 Twit or not 2 Twit

TWITTER Robert Scoble posted a picture of Twitter's door. Part of his day was spent visiting their offices. Biz sent out an email announcing new hires, the tracker function , and promoting the new PBS Show Wired Science who you can follow @ http://twitter.com/wiredscience . Here's a link to Anita Hamilton's Time article ' Why Everyone's Talking About Twitter ' (from March '06, after SXSW). I love Twitter, I'm addicted to it and I am completely voyeuristic when it comes to some people whom I've never met. It supplies a real time snapshot of developments in the Web 2.0, social media arena. It's just a place to post random thoughts that you think are worth sharing in less than 140 characters. The tired argument against Twitter is than everyone just posts "I'm eating a burrito". Which isn't true. Twitter is an easy way to discuss events, ideas, news stories, new photos. The problem is that unless you have a blog or a web si
