Perhaps someday someone will invent a tool to solve this problem and call it Twitter.

I didn't know how smart a guy Chris is, and what great blogs he produces, until he emailed me one day. I really don't want to bash on Steve here, but I think the guy is in danger of losing a fundamental bit of perspective regarding what this blogging thing is all about.

Great post (as usual) Chris.

I read Steve's post this morning, and I have to admit I was disappointed with the tone. I got the sense of ... "These e-mails (sigh) are so pedestrian and old school."

I like to find out about what other bloggers and podcasters are writing and speaking about. What are their passions and what gets them excited? We're still using e-mail as one of our primary ways for doing that. Embrace it.

I would agree with Chris that some form of "disclosure" is helpful. Tell me who you are. Do you listen to my podcast? Do you read my blog? Tell me why what you have would interest me, specifically, and I'll listen, respond, and be engaged.

I totally agree with you Chris.

After reading Steve Rubel's post, I cannot help but think that the irony is rather to see someone who is making a living in the PR and marketing industry, in other words a professional hired gun, lecturing bloggers, in such a patronising way.

A-List blogger Steve Rubel's conspiracy theory about the “underground blogsphere” does indeed make me smile.

Are the majority of bloggers really obsessed by their traffic statistics? Let's be serious! Many are a lot more interested in the quality of the readership than their volume, and in generating meaningful conversations.

Interestingly, I was until recently subscribing to Steve Rubel's blog, but it was axed last week together with a couple of other PR suits! I am determined to limit my feeds to 101 and no more, and I had come accross a lot of far more interesting authors! ;-)

Theres nothing wrong with it. Hell, I WANT other bloggers to email me with interesting things to say. It shows me that they believe that my blog is influential enough to try to "pitch" too. Part of me thinks that article was written for traffic purposes. "Digg bait" if you will.
