Matt Pope also describes feeling and thoughts about blogging alone.
Yep. Not a problem for those who have already amassed a loyal following (e.g. Jon Udell, Dave Winer). But for the rest of us the challenge is to write something that some audience (no matter how big or small) enjoys, while at the same time remaining true to ideas and a style that are wholly personal and unique. Some folks crave a large audience, others don't care. I think I'm in the latter camp; at the very least I can say conclusively that I never write, or don't write, something based upon who may or may not read it. Further, I've found it a waste of time to speculate about what sort of response(s) (if any) a post may get... there's simply no predicting what people will pick up on; I like that aspect of blogging.
However just one day earler he points out a link to and article touching on the value of consumer producer contributions in the value creation process on the internet.
Even though I'm still blogging alone I have activated my node on the network and feel the connection more deeply to far away places. I spoted a refer from a google search on my name. Hmm. . . I'm thinking it was ray or maybe dave
