The First Rule of Blog Network is Not to...
You know the fightclub Tyler Durden drill, applied to blogs this time :) Come to think of incl the White + Male thing, Tyler Durden could have been a blogger in Finchers underrated Fight Club.
"Narrator: Tyler was a night person. While the rest of us slept, he worked. He had one part time job as a projectionist. See, a movie doesn't come all on one real. It comes on a few. See, there are these little dots on the screen.
Tyler Durden: In the movie industry, we call them cigarette burns.
Narrator: That's the cue for a change-over. The movie keeps on going, and nobody in the audience has any clue.
Tyler Durden: Why would anyone want this shit job?
Narrator: Because it affords him other interesting opportunities.
Tyler Durden: Like splicing single frames of porn into family films..."
BloggersBlog do a very funny wrap-up : "Martin Neumann recently shuttered his Blog Network Watch blog after just a week. He says he quit the blog because he thought he might want to join or start a blog network himself. "You can read the reasons over there but basically I've come to the conclusion that (maybe) I'd rather be a part of a network than writing about one - and damn it, you can't do justice by doing both. I don't want to be in a position of conflict-of-interest, and that's exactly what I'd be in if one day I were to join a network and continue writing about them all. So it's best to pull the pin right now. No matter what anyone says, individuals who continue to write about blog networks (usually with that bloggers critical eye) and also own or be a part of one have a serious conflict-of-interest, even if their intentions are A Okay. Sometimes, right or wrong, it's the perception that matters over the reality." So, if you own a blog network, blog for a blog network or even if you are just thinking about joining a blog network remember Martin's 1st Rule of Blog Networks."
