so really, who's counting?

The world of blogging is quite competitive. Copyblogger says so.

blog - n. Comes from brilliant combination of web and log, usually refers to an online journal updated periodically that readers can (or won't...) respond to in posts, i.e. what you are reading right now (definition courtesy of me)

linkbait - n. Editorial content, often sensational in nature, posted on a Web page and submitted to social media sites in hopes of building inbound links from other sites. Or, as Matt Cutts of Google says, "something interesting enough to catch people's attention" (definition courtesy of SearchEngineWatch.com).

Interesting? Sure, all (wannabe) writers strive for interesting. Apparently however, some writers post blogs entirely for popularity at bookmarking sites (del.icio.us and technorati and the like) and on internet search engines.

And I thought this was supposed to be an exercise in pouring out personal experiences semi-anonymously.

Guess my limited readership is evidence of my inability (disinterest) to write linkable, authoritative posts? Awkward to wonder if I lack the expertise to speak on my own life...
