You have direct access to anyone who is reading this post. Pitch in the comments! If your stuff is good, someone will try it out and say so. Maybe even me.\"<br><br>The problem is that what you asked for is spamming. Obviously you can have whatever policy you want on your comments, I'm not arguing that. But that only means that people can pitch to you in their comments. I doubt Molly or Zeldman would appreciate it if I respond to one of their posts about web standards telling them to check out a new iPod accessory my company just made (disclaimer: I do not actually work for an iPod accessory company, just trying to come up with the most obnoxious pitch).<br><br>Right now, pitching can only be done to most people with real direct communication: email, phone, or in person. Pitching with comments is just spam unless you can somehow tie it in with a particular post.<br><br>Another worthy blog entry though would be if a pitch to a blogger is even worth it. When somebody tells me \"Look, I have this great new product. Web 2.0. Ajax. Fantastic. Amazing. etc.\" I'm tempted to just ignore them. If instead they say \"I have this great new product. It isn't ready for the public yet and I'd really like to get some feedback from respected people in your field. You can try it out two weeks before it goes public.\" That isn't a pitch so much as a direct invitation. It's a car salesman letting you drive the car around for a while instead of showing you some commercials and telling you to buy it.<br><br>If you sent 100 normal pitches out or 100 exclusive invites out, I'd bet the invites would be at least twice as effective. And there's nothing dishonest or unscrupulous about it. For instance, I (should hopefully) have two products/sites coming out this year. One I am going to invite you, Robert, to try out because I think you would actually use it. Another you don't fit in the target audience. Would I like you to write about that one too? Yeah, but you would be more likely to do so seeing others using it than me trying to get you to use it.<br><br>Wow, I've rambled quite a bit here.

Don’t wait for me to blog about your company or your team or your product or you. That’s what comments here are for. You have direct access to anyone who is reading this post. Pitch in the comments! If your stuff is good, someone will try it out and say so. Maybe even me."<br><br>The problem is that what you asked for is spamming. Obviously you can have whatever policy you want on your comments, I\'m not arguing that. But that only means that people can pitch to you in their comments. I doubt Molly or Zeldman would appreciate it if I respond to one of their posts about web standards telling them to check out a new iPod accessory my company just made (disclaimer: I do not actually work for an iPod accessory company, just trying to come up with the most obnoxious pitch).<br><br>Right now, pitching can only be done to most people with real direct communication: email, phone, or in person. Pitching with comments is just spam unless you can somehow tie it in with a particular post.<br><br>Another worthy blog entry though would be if a pitch to a blogger is even worth it. When somebody tells me "Look, I have this great new product. Web 2.0. Ajax. Fantastic. Amazing. etc." I\'m tempted to just ignore them. If instead they say "I have this great new product. It isn\'t ready for the public yet and I\'d really like to get some feedback from respected people in your field. You can try it out two weeks before it goes public." That isn\'t a pitch so much as a direct invitation. It\'s a car salesman letting you drive the car around for a while instead of showing you some commercials and telling you to buy it.<br><br>If you sent 100 normal pitches out or 100 exclusive invites out, I\'d bet the invites would be at least twice as effective. And there\'s nothing dishonest or unscrupulous about it. For instance, I (should hopefully) have two products/sites coming out this year. One I am going to invite you, Robert, to try out because I think you would actually use it. Another you don\'t fit in the target audience. Would I like you to write about that one too? Yeah, but you would be more likely to do so seeing others using it than me trying to get you to use it.<br><br>Wow, I\'ve rambled quite a bit here. I\'m going to clean up these thoughts a bit and blog them tonight.</div>\

Some of my blogging buddies here in Toronto are technology journalists for National newspapers...it\'s actually their job to keep up on the tech news...blogging fills the void for all they have to say that does not fit within the editorial guidelines at the papers.

But, I remember you asking the concerns I raised to you personally to Bill Gates.<br><br>I read about your condemnation of those within Microsoft who fail to support democracy and the sacred nature of a free press to creating a free world.<br><br>I feel vindicated.<br><br>Dave Winer wrote me an e-mail almost a year ago. I was reading a book on RSS and couldn\'t get it. He let me know...the inventor..that the book was making it more complicated than it needed to be. That meant a lot. It still means a lot.<br><br>I just wanted to let you know that I\'m sharing this technology here in the Ozarks. I\'m helping our government open dialogue and communicate. I\'m beggining to make a Vlog which is nothing less to me than my own local TV station.<br><br>Just wanted to say thank you to you and to Dave and wanted to let you know, your work has meant worlds to me and my community.<br><br>Tonight a website goes online as a gift to our local Salvation Army. They\'ll be blogging for goodwill and that could mean the world to someone else.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Darin Codon<br>No time to edit Laptop will die</div>\

Whenever we are connected to a story, a photo, a bunch of text, a piece of music or something that strikes a chord, it is generally because we are sharing a real experience with another human that holds meaning for us to.  In a very real sense it is finding meaning in life in the small things that connect us to one another - that connects us to ourselves.<br><br>I still don\'t use a feed reader because I dont have time to be that committed to reading any one thing or person.  Sure, I have missed important conversations as they emerged, but with time and perspective I was able to get to the stuff that really mattered in it all rather than being wrapped up in it.  But I have never missed the life I am in while I am living it.<br><br>I love gadgets, tech and toys - but only in so far as they enhance my lilfe.  Once, during the downturn in 2002, I did not check voicemail for almost 6 months.  The people who needed to get a hold of me got a hold of me or I got in touch with them.  Not something I will be able to do with the new committments in my life, but it was fun while I had my freedom to do so...<br><br>Then to think that half of the people I know cant say what they really mean out of fear for pissing off (or causing legal harm to) an organization they represent.  That just sucks.  I had to deal with some political BS with a client once where I had to recheck each email 8x before sending it, then even after clicking send, I was paranoid that I had one of the wrong people on the cc list...<br><br>One of the things we hope to do with BrainJams is to help the disenfranchised  centrist majority to find ears for their great ideas to hear.  The power of knowledge is not limited by any Power Law, though the ability to gain wide distribution might be.  I think we can fix this somehow and hope we figure it ouot soon.  Long live the M-listers!<br><br>Nuff rant for now.<br><br>People matter.  Good technology is a tool that enhances what matters most to us in life, not those that suck life from us.</div>\

Actually, that\'s a little strong: but you\'ve spent many long hours talking UP the impact and influence of bloggers and blogging in general. You\'ve contributed to the hype around blogging. Unfortunately for your inbox, there\'s a price that comes attached to that - you will gain the attention of people who want to reach your readers through you.<br><br>You\'re an opinion-former, Robert, whether you like it or not! :)<br><br>As for Dave\'s decision, I think it will make precisely zero difference to anyone outside his circle. Dave is no more responsible for the popularity of blogging than Gutenberg is responsible for the popularity of Vogue magazine. Dave made some tools that people have used to make great stuff, and that inspired other people to make better tools than his, but claiming that him deciding not to blog (and personally I\'ll believe it when I see it) will have some impact on the wider blogging space is silly.<br><br>Blogging grew beyond the point where Dave Winer could have an impact on it years ago. I suspect that 90% of the people who use LiveJournal or Blogger or TypePad barely know who he is, let alone care if he blogs.</div>\

Where your expectations set going in that Hotmail would not delete your mails if you didn\'t use the service for 30 days? Did they say "for no money this is the level of service you get?"?
