I only know of one person who has actually read it. ;-) There are several reasons: I write long texts, so it's not fast reading. I write on many different subjects, so the blog is tough to categorize. And I only write when I have something to say, so my posts are infrequent. Finally, I haven't tried to market/push it at all, partly as an experiment, to see if and how it would 'bubble up'. [This post is the first time I contradict the previous statement, only because it's relevant to your blog point.]<br>On the plus side, you might find some interesting ideas there. No lunch menus.<br>I'd love to know what you think. My first blog entry, about Google, follows a similar theme as your current post, but without the punch of your comment: "with more people talking we’re all saying the same thing". That's good.<br>Thank you for raising this point.<br>Reem<br><a href="http://growthwise.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://growthwise.blogspot.com/</a> Hi, Tac,

I'd love to know what you think. My first blog entry, about Google, follows a similar theme as your current post, but without the punch of your comment: “with more people talking we’re all saying the same thing”. That's good.
Thank you for raising this point.

Blern learns what you like based on your own blogging and other activity on the web (Digg, Delicious, etc) then recommends blog posts. I'm still building the long tail of blogs included in the system, but there's over 10,000 feeds being parsed already and more coming all the time (it's a somewhat manual process, as I review each before allowing it into the system as a measure of quality control).
