Ranting and Roaring

Jason Calacanis (as recounted by Tris Hussey):

[how to] be an A-list blogger:

1. Go to Techememe
2. Blog something intelligent about the top story of the day
3. Link to and mention all the people who have said something intelligent
4. Repeat for 30 days
5. Go to a couple conferences a month
6. You're an A-list blogger.

The blogosphere is the ultimate meritocracy … "It's not broken, you suck" (when someone complains that they don't get traffic).
