Dan and Jon, it's already been two weeks since this discussion officially launched. Time just zoomed by! I want to thank you, Dan, for joining us and to tell you how much we appreciate your visit. If you can stay and continue this conversation we'd be delighted to have you. Even though the virtual spotlight has turned to other guests, this topic will remain open and additional discussion is more than welcome. [Read entire topic]

Dan, thinking about the supposed power law distribution and this conversation about "how to find the good stuff," I'm wondering if, while writing the book, you gained any insight into how people interact with blogs? I suspect that attempts to get a handle on that question have been too linear in their approach, that the actual behavior of readers involves a lot of bouncing around, not necessarily focusing on the supposed a-lists. I also suspect that the blogs most linked via blogrolls are not necessarily the most widely read. Thoughts? [Read entire topic]
