I Heart The Blogosphere

Taking inspiration from Seth Godin's post entitled Ego, I have chosen to place a handful of my readers front and center on One Man's Highway for a much deserved mention. This is not a ploy coaxing you to stand in the middle of the highway to be splattered by a semi truck. It's my way of expressing appreciation for your valued readership. While I cannot place every reader's name in this post (because I don't have info on who they all are) I can highlight the last 28 blog crawlers that have taken time to leave a comment on one of my posts. An act of kindness that will not go unnoticed.

"If I come back to your website and you know my name, why not plaster it across the page? People like to be recognized, respected and trusted." Seth Godin

The blogosphere is a world that pivots on a delicate balance, powered by the authors but fueled by it's readers. Without readers a blog is reduced to an online journal that eventually gets abandoned. With an active readership blogs are a vibrant and meaningful launch pad for information, commentary, stories and ideas. It's like punk rock for writers, everybody's in a band practicing in the garage. If that guy can do it, then so can I! The ability to post any type of commentary instantaneously and gain feedback at almost the same speed is truly a gift of our modern age. One that should not be taken for granted. The blogosphere is a vital community that's quickly evolving into an indispensable part of our culture.

I sincerely appreciate every person that has taken time to read One Man's Highway and I hope you will find your way back here again knowing that the ride is free. I could not have motorerd this far without your participation and weekly encouragemnet one and all. Much appreciated.
Mr. Besilly

Thanks, Ray! You're the best.

The smartest people know the favorite thing to talk about is themselves ... putting us in the spotlight certainly caters to that.

I heart the blogosphere too... and each day just that much more ;P

Hi Mr Besilly, I'm very surprised to find out that you have mentioned my blog on this post. I feel really flattered and guilty at the same time... I remember I found your site and since then, I didn't come back. I'm gonna bookmark your URL. Thanks! :)
