Multiple Tipping Points? I recently sent a pitch for an article to Wired Magazine, in which I plan to entertain the rather unfashionable concept that blogging hadn’t ‘tipped’ YET, to use Malcolm’s terminology. My argument centres around an interdiscipli...

I've been linking to 'unknown' blogs from Day One at BMA. Not because they are 'unknown', but because they have the best content. Most of the so-called 'A-lister' blogs have gotten slow and fat, while the newbies are eating their lunch. The A-Listers will decide to get with the program and pay attention to them once the newbies get enough links to make it 'worth their while'. Course by then they'll have missed the boat.

I think Link Bribery is more appropriate a term for what Scott is up to — it was bait when he first announced he would give away 10K for something or other, but, now we’re into the bribing phase — especially with paying out 70 runner-up prizes of $100 each — he practically guarantees he’ll be linked all the way into Technorati’s Top 100 himself (even though links aren’t required). He’s not getting my vote though, because his blog isn’t good enough — and neither is mine.

Getting me to change my M.O. would cost WAY MORE than $10K.

Hugh, speaking of hierarchies, will you be participating in John Scott’s blogosphere contest announced today:
“So I propose a change in blogging. I challenge every blogger to post links to new blogs, unknown blogs and blogs not in the Technorati’s Top 100. And I’ll pay out a total of $10,000 to those who participate.”
