That is a question I get a lot and when I let them look at the stats they say yeah I guess so while giving me a slap on the back. The conversation usually turns to how in the hell did you accomplish that. Well it seems that there is some debate out there sparked by a NYT article that in essence says that most bloggers are talking to themselves. I know my personal blog is only read by a few people but It is also not targeted to the general public. This site is read by a significant number of you. But it is worth a closer look and I think the commentary over at A Small Victory sums it up very nicely. [A Small Victory]

I find myself reading a lot of blog content. I find the ‘watch lists’ in my RSS reader particularly useful as they allow me to watch a large number of blogs for articles on topics that I’m currently interested in.
I think that the tools are still in a very early stage of development; however, as time goes on, I see blogs as being a very powerful form of communication on both personal & technical levels.
I write a blog/journal that is personal & aimed at my friends. I’ve also started writing on professional topics…even if nobody reads that, I find it helpful to write down bits & pieces of the things I do for later reference. Once it’s written down, it’s there for people to refer to later, too.
