    • Indeed. Having the right motivation is what separates succumbing to failure and continue striving for more. And in the world of dog-eat-dog businesses, start-ups need it the most.

  • Hello, Eiso - It's interesting that you read to think. I definitely agree that it's always great to see what other people's opinions are, especially if you're on the fence about something and you learn more about both sides from people who are passionate about their stance.

    The best thing about social networking is the discussion that takes place. It's always been something taken for granted, but more and more I see people focusing in on the dynamic of social discussion itself, and promoting the discussions in each niche that serve a specific interest. Which is what I am planning on writing about next. ;)

    Too bad you're not local! There's a web designer's group meeting tonight and the topic is about social networking and social media. I'm very curious to hear what the other people have to say.
  • >Is it so that each blog with great content can slowly accumulate readers till it hits a critical mass and becomes an authority? Or is it so that at the start of a niche, when there are no authority sites yet, several arise and once they have a monopoly they stay there?

    I think it's a bit of both. RSS feeds give a major advantage to early players, but sites like Reddit give newcomers (like me) a chance.

    The main "problem" however is the narrowness of categorization in most social networking site. If a great article doesn't fit on the the reddit groups the "purity police" will vote it into oblivion. It's high time that agregators like reddit should start agregating their own groups. i.e. the "visual basic", "PHP" and "Ruby" groups should by automatically merge to form "Programming" which should merge into "Software" etc. Articles should be submitted at the lowest leaf node and propogate upward with voting at all levels.
