Timing and workload sadly prevented me from getting my entry in for the Laurie Manny Challenge - but the concept hooked me none the less. I have found myself subscribing to more and more outside blogs in an effort to become a better blogger myself. I also have found that when I

To understand what a person reads is to understand, in part, the soul of that same person. We've heard "garbage in - garbage out." And never before in human history has there been such an opportunity for garbage. Culling through blogs is like panning for gold. Wasted water. Wasted rock. Wasted

OK, I admit it - when I first read Colleen's post on this 'outside blog reading contest', I thought there was no way I'd be interested in that at all. Why? Because I was too comfy right here in my own little comfy cushy quilt-lined safety nest here in Active Rain. I

While the "recommendations" for potential blogs to highlight were much appreciated on Colleen's post about the next contest, I thought I would highlight local Minnesota bloggers here on Active Rain, that aren't always in the spotlight.

Today, I spent some time tooling around the blogosphere to explore new worlds with my cursor on assignment for my entry into the Laurie Manny challenge. It was very interesting to visit a number of sites in tandem with reading the cover story on social networking & Facebook in the latest Newsweek magazine.

When web advertising began, people would literally pay for a set of eyeballs... that was how what we now know as clicks were measured.
The funny thing is... a click was a worthless measure. People got into time on the site, how they got to the site etc to determine the

He only makes progress when he sticks his neck out." -- James Bryant Conant, former president of Harvard University A paradox of social networking sites is that although there are often many thousands of members, we limit our participation to a much smaller subset that fits our personal comfort zones.
