One of the best things about blogging as a medium is the immediacy it offers the writer, who can delve into their website statistics and see how many people are reading, where they come from, how they find you et cetera. Even better, some people who subscribe with services like Bloglines have public profiles and that means you can check out the other blogs they like.
But here’s a tip. If you’re going to have a public profile on Bloglines (and especially if you’re the kind of consultant whose clients may take a look) it’s probably best not to list your favourite porn sites alongside all the worthy stuff. You know who you are… and now I know you a little better than I wanted to.
