Why I’d never ask to be on a blogroll
Monday, April 9th, 2007I don’t ask to be on other people’s blogrolls. While I think it would be nice to be on every blogger’s blogroll and I have no objection to being added or linked to - I just don’t think it’s appropriate to ask to be on another person’s blogroll. I only add people that I know to my blogroll and I mean know as in know in person. Does this mean that if you meet me at WWDC, SxSW or some other conference and if I like your content - I’ll add your blog? No. And asking in person just means I’ll be right there to look at you strangely and go “what the fuck?” I generally like people and I like to expose new and upcoming talent in all mediums. But I only add people that I know, like and know to write great and honest commentary on their blog. If I find your content worthwhile but I haven’t met you IRL - I’ll link in a post. Until then, just keep doing great work. You’ll get noticed. ^_^
