If No One Reads Your Post
Seth Godin breaks his pattern of deep analysis and asks a simple question: If no one reads your post, does it exist? He goes on.
What do most people get out of blogging? After all, most blogs are virtually unread by outsiders…

Why Reading Blogs is Crucial to being Smart
It’s 2007. Few people in your neighborhood read blogs. Depending on where you work, you may have coworkers who don’t know what a blog is, much less a “blog reader”. Most people you know read more each year from magazines, trade journals, books, and newspapers than they ever read from a blog.
