After reading the chapter “Web of Influence” by Daniel W. Drezner and Henry Farrell in Blog!: How the newest media revolution is changing politics, business, and culture by David Kline and Dan Burstein there was one paragraph that really stood out to me. This paragraph is on pages 87-88 and talks about how you need to have links to your blog on other blogs to get people to read your own. One sentence that I really like was “Thus, in the blogosphere, the rich (measured in the number of links) get richer, while the poor remain poor.” In other words, people who tend to have more links out there, the more viewers and readers they will have. On the other hand people who have vey little to no amount of links out will have the same result in readers. For example, my blog probably doesn’t have very many links because it is for a class while the blog at www.crookedtimber.org has many links. My conclusion, then, is that people should get the word out on their blogs to get more people to read them!
