Blogging about Blogs

As a relative newcomer into the blogging scene, I see the mammoth presences of the giants.  They are those who get loads of visitors, whether by word of mouth, or through OEM (so to speak) inclusion via such programs as the wickedly fast SharpReader.  I wonder just how to attract readers so to actually have an impact through writings.  Today Dave Winer of Scripting News posted an essay about pointers (anchors).

I must admit that while I don't agree with some of the things he has to say, this point is perfectly on target.  The article, titled “Pointers Are Cheap,” touches briefly on the issue of journalistic integrity, but the greater point is the fact that links in articles are 99% more likely to produce results that the end user is interested in.  They are reading the article because it is of interest, therefore, the link may be of use to them as well (NB: made-up statistic). 

I wonder if what I have to write here is important enough to the community to make an impact.  Without flaming or trolling. I plan to announce a project I have been working on, that will eventually be made open-source on GotDotNet.  Hopefully people can use it effectively or learn from it enough to make my blogging presence worthwhile.
