To my fellow bloggers...
how exactly does one get to be a "Blog of Note" as designated by Blogger.com?
Sometimes, I read through the ones that have been deemed noteworthy, and I wonder how did they gain such an honor as this?
For example, today the blogs of note include the following: (descriptions are from the actual blog-not of my creation).
The Hot Dog Spot--What's Chicago or New York got that we don't have here in Los Angeles? We eat more hot dogs than any other city in the nation... We have a wider variety of styles and toppings... A recent newspaper article dubbed LA the Hot Dog Capital of the World! Hot Dog Spot is the weblog of a crack team of "dogophiles" who are hot on the trail of the BEST DOG IN LOS ANGELES!
Holla Back NYC--Holla Back NYC empowers New Yorkers to Holla Back at street harassers. Whether you're commuting, lunching, partying, dancing, walking, chilling, drinking, or sunning, you have the right to feel safe, confident, and sexy, without being the object of some dickwad's fantasy. So stop walkin' on and Holla Back: Send us pics of street harassers!
A Consuming Experience--Thoughts on my experiences as a consumer of products, services, people (well maybe not that last one...), from reviews to raves, rants and random thoughts - concentrating on technology, gadgets, software, product usability, consumer issues, customer service. Including some introductory guides and tips on various subjects (like blogging!) which stumped me until I figured them out. And the occasional ever so slightly naughty observation.
The Festivus Pole--FRANK'S FESTIVUS: THE FIRST NAME IN FESTIVUS "tm" presents News and Comment on the upcoming Festivus season, as well as the only festivus pole on the market that meets Frank's original exacting standards for the Festivus Season.
Founder Frustrations--I am a professor in the Entrepreneurial Management unit at Harvard Business School. My research focuses on Founder Frustrations, and I would love to get your feedback on my early research findings, ideas for new issues/"frustrations" to study, and input based on your experiences.
BORING! Ok, Holla Back NYC is actually pretty interesting, but I'm alot more interesting to read than these other people, right?
Okay, sure, maybe my choice of topics aren't universally appealing to the reading masses, but I do try. Aren't you entertained by my real life experiences? Do you not feel my pain when I post it so eloquently for you to partake? Do you not laugh at my intense anger? Do you relate to me when I complain about co-workers, traffic, and the stupid people I encounter? Do you even love me at all?

Hell if I know... I can barely get anyone to look at my shit, so I have nothing to add to get you to the platitudes of blogdom. Perhaps you could start writing a lot, and include tips and tricks. And politics.
