Blogoff Post #50: Real estate weblogging? Write about blogging . . .

More from Seth Godin offers 56 tips on how to get traffic for your weblog. Here is tip number thirty-eight:

Write about blogging.

This may well be the most self-referential medium in the history of media. That’s okay. Discursive prose is how we think orderly thoughts, and writing about weblogging is how we get better at weblogging.

The beautiful thing about this conversation is that sharing the purely introspective also amplifies it, while apprehending the amplified thoughts of others yields a better state of introspection. We become a forum, an agora — blog to blog, within a blog and within our own minds, solitarily engaged in the most blaringly public of debates. Very cool…

      Great job so far Greg (and Ardell, and Jon)…

Sure, I’m a contributor on RCG, I comment on popular real estate blogs, and I even write Virtual Earth based IDX/MLS systems (w/ geocoded RSS feeds) for fun and profit. However, I’m sure Dustin sets up more blogs before 10 AM in a typical day, than I do in a year. Hence, the reason for my post. Besides, as another real estate blogging master has pointed out to me, blogging about blogging is always a good topic. [...]
