Blogosphere Highlights 7-23-05

  • The Transformers movie already has a blog even though the film is not out until July, 2007.
  • Blogebrity points out the numerous 1950s and 1960s Soviet communism-related posts on Boing Boing. They have a Disney fetish at Boing Boing as well.
  • HealthNewsBlog.com reports that Yahoo has launched several health blogs. Our sister blog, the Pleasant Morning Buzz, comments on one of the new blogs by Yoga expert, Rodney Yee.
  • The web is the new battleground for video and digital entertainment.
  • Bizreport.com reports that blogging will definitely get you fired if you blog that one of your students is "incredibly hot" like this former journalism instructor did.
  • Paul Purdue, founder and president of iFulfill.com, an online retail order fulfillment house for medium and small online businesses, has started a blog about finding balance between career and family life.
  • Flickr reports that sometimes they suck.
  • If you decide to send your blog into space don't use profanity or write a dull blog or the aliens might decide not to visit.
  • Gavin tells of his struggle to get his blog (Gavin's blog) up to the #1 position on Google for the keyword "Gavin." He's up to #3 now on Google.com.
  • Jeremy Zawodny asks when will blogging peak? Zawodny suspects blogging may become "just another part of daily life for a bunch of people? ...just like on-line shopping." That wouldn't be such a bad thing because online shopping has been growing at a steady clip every year and still hasn't peaked.
  • Darren Rowse at ProBlogger recently received his biggest AdSense check yet and a few other bloggers claim to have earned big payments from Google's text advertising program. Gojomo isn't nearly as ambitious. His 2005 target is just $10.
  • Randy Charles Morin explains A-List Linking in his RSS Blog. Morin says A-List Linking is where bloggers "link to the a-listers like mad in hope that they'll just link to us once in a blue moon and boost our Google karma." Scoble responds and says that the blogosphere is now a flatland and that the linking to the a-listers strategy no longer works:
    That technique doesn't work anymore. There are simply too many people trying that technique now so there's no way any one blogger can keep up with it all (A-list or no). Here's what does work: be interesting. Get 10 other bloggers to link to you. Forget the A-listers. They don't matter anymore. Well, they don't matter as much.
  • Got bloggers block? B.L. Ochman offers the top 10 topics to blog about.
  • Robot Johnny has celebrated his second blog anniversary.
  • Ben Bleikamp on discovering that he is a blogebrity.
