According to Virgin Blue’s Voyeur Magazine which was forwarded to me by Australia’s Gourmet Guardian, Gavin Buckett reveals that Technorati – the blogosphere’s preeminent source of truth revealed recently that 1 new blog is created every second. The article which you can read online by clicking on the previous hyperlink also reveals something about modern culture… Britney Spears has 4,335,952 Twitter followers to US President Barack Obama‘s one million and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd‘s paltry 2,125. Are they twitterers or just plain old twits?!?
One thing is for sure, as I’ve stated in previous blog posts- the world is changing – that includes blogging.
73% of bloggers now use Twitter – of course a lot of that is just Spam in a new can…
So what does that mean for you as a blogger?
If you’re not doing something special that adds value to readers, guess what? You’re ending up at the bottom of a proverbial pile that is so high/deep that almost no one’s going to find you or your blog.
Just having a blog is no longer enough. The rules have changed.
