Don’t bring a plow to a zero-till fight.
Friday, July 2, 2010:
And already it’s evident that blogs, set on a bi-directional platform, bring an unprecedented dynamic in the way media consumers can interact with content creators, which in of itself, extends the range of octaves available to the original creator.
72+ hours later…
PLEASE nobody mess up that guy’s zero comment count! Let’s see how long it lasts!
With the pic shown there. I thought it was a joke by Kate.
“This is the first Gay Vampire site Ive ever visited” I mused. Why send us here?
Heh.
example # 2341 Kate… 😉
I get it Kate . Slick don’t mean seductive.
Its the content that brings the click.
It’s the REPUTATION for content that brings the click.
Since I want to maintain the counter’s virginity, and since FFF doesn’t have comments on her blog, I will say my 2 cents here:
I thought I was reading a speech by Professor Iggy, then I awoke and realized Keep It Simple Stupid!
C’mon …. Saskatchewan wasn’t plowed in a day.
Werner Erhard + Tony Robbins + Ron Popiel + Stanley Unwin + a Giant Gasbag = a reductive business value proposition that masterly communicates the gestalt of our times as an epic tale of contemporary culture that can be monetized by maximizing root growth thinking to extend the range of octaves through interpretive meshes of digital text and images…
Whew – what a load of pompous intellectual bafflegag. He writes like any young student in the social sciences and humanities. It’s all opinions, open generalized statements, and an ignorance of history – which must include economics and demographics.
The printing press was indeed momentous in enabling a public communication infrastructure available to any and all (who could read, I must hasten to add). BUT, it was not the sole cause of the many changes taking place in the 13-16th centuries in Europe. To reduce this massive tectonic societal shift to ONE system is reductionist simplicity. Indeed, the press was both a result of this tectonic shift as well as enabling that shift to strengthen and root itself in individualism, objective empirical science and democracy.
Revnant Dream had it: Gay Vampires, nothing more. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Am I to presume this is payback for the Mike Brock post? I imagine you don’t mock people’s stats ( seriously: how juvenile )for so trivial a thing as talking about digital media.

Damn. Didn’t mean to post that earlier comment. Ah well – at least it’s out in the open now.
No, I was mocking the writer, actually. It’s not often you see so much literary tedium and ignorance of the subject matter combined into one post.
I don’t have an issue with your Mike Brock post, or I’d have said as much. (Well, outside the intellectual laziness, but that was running so thick over the past few days you didn’t really stand out from the herd.)
Ah. Well then, I’ll rage unnecessarily somewhere else.
Perhaps then, you are having some fun at Kathy’s expense since she runs this column on her blog?? Or like Walker am I barking up the wrong tree??
Nah, it’s just a bit of inside humour. You have to be rural to get it.
Me thinks Kate was just polishing her CV:-))))
Sigh…I used to be rural.
Just for the record, though, I happened to personally enjoy Saul’s article…
“Sigh…I used to be rural.”
Must have been back in the days of the plow…
As usual, I haven’t a clue what the hell you’re all talking about; Should I? Please be honest.
Just wondering why Walker doesn’t have SDA on his list of blog friends etc. It would certainly help his readership.
What you have here is a ru-ral met-a-four. Zero till is a modern method of seeding that minimizes soil disturbance and maximizes efficiency.
Plowing on the other hand is inefficient and a bit archaic.
Therefore, blogging being a modern method of spreading information (seeding) it requires modern methods (brevity). No need to turn over soil you don’t need to. (don’t be a windbag)
I think.

Hey, pretty good!
Thanks. English 30 eh!

I once plowed a quarter section with a 3 gang plow pulled by an old 2 banger john deere with steel wheels when I was about 14 . And no , you don’t want the details of every furrow .
Must have been back in the days of the plow…
Erm…sure.

Ah. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to get someone to do the plowing for you in the first place?
Count yourself lucky, Walker. I could have brought out the chem fallow retort.
But I took pity.
It would seem that is exactly what you did with your guest blogger. As it turns out he’s a piss poor farmer.

I would assume that’s why he chose to run his own business and write guest columns on the side.

Thank you.
Seriously, Walker – why is it these types always tell people how to run businesses they know nothing about, but never ask? Reading that dolt was painful.

Well, I’m not exactly sure that blogging is a business, is it?

All I ask is that you don’t insult my guest-posters.
I just blog because I like writing stuff, myself. Its fun. 🙂 Anybody who reads and comments is icing, the cake is the writing it. Good thing too, given the number of comments the Soapbox gets.
Kate’s yelling at the TV is better than mine. 🙂
I, too, was once rural, back in the days of the plow. Those were harrowing times. For years, I thought Morris Rodweeder was the premier of Saskatchewan.
EBD, do you think you could play Herb Alpert’s “Discers In Love With You” for us?
Those were harrowing times… BWAHAHAHA!!!
“All I ask is that you don’t insult my guest-posters. “
So … you want to play with the big kids, but you don’t want to be subject to the same rules of engagement. That’s an interesting position to take, all things considered.
By the way, your guest poster’s stuff has a whiff of “paid advertising” to it.
This damn working for a living is getting in the way of all the best entertainment. very funny stuff, to bad the fools never get it.
“…rules of engagement…”
What are those?

Kate, don’t justify the fact that you took an exceptionally cheap shot at another blogger’s traffic and comments, and then referred to one of their guest-bloggers as a dolt. Being childish doesn’t suit you.
I was taking a well deserved shot at a tedious, pretentious writer purporting to give advice on how to “monetize” one’s blog, and a blogger who apparently can’t see the irony of “advice” delivered in a manner that pretty much breaks every rule of successful blogging.

What, as defined by Robert Jago?
As defined by pretty much everyone who manages to build a significant readership.
Oh, and you’re still insulting my guest-poster for…um…not giving the same advice as Robert Jago. My god – the man must be stopped.

Perhaps – but we’re still in largely unexplored territory with this whole digital media thing: I just don’t see the point of insulting somebody for putting out a few theories. Particularly when it involves sneering about another blogger’s low traffic levels.
“not giving the same advice as Robert Jago”…. I think you need to pay more attention to the links provided.
And if it’s immunity from criticism you demand, you’d probably best forget the blogging thing and get a puppy.

Oh please. I’m not demanding immunity from criticism. I’m saying that you made a cheap shot using my site traffic numbers, and that you’re engaging in ad hominem attacks and insults. Perhaps that’s what you mean by ‘criticism’? Because from where I’m standing it just looks kind of childish.
