POPSTechmeme Leaderboard I've never really given much thought to how flawed Techorati's ranking system is, this post sheds some light on it for me. I think that although Technorati's overall blog ranking system has its flaws, the Techmeme Leaderboard will be a great addition but still does not try to put the greater blogosphere in order. The top sites are important and they should be recognized and ranked appropriately. But what about the rest of us millions of bloggers who fall somewhere towards the top or somewhere in the middle? Technorati is still the central place that puts the blogosphere in perspective. Even if it's a somewhat flawed perspective.

POPSReveal your true self, and embedd it in your blog All online content is becoming embed-able. Smart on the part of companies online to offer this option. Why would I do anything; take an online test, participate in an online community or spend the time to create online content on any site if I can represent it on my blog? Forget "email this." Now its "blog this," "facebook this," and "embed this." No more sharing behind closed doors(i.e. email), we all want to receive credit and the feeling of connectivity from all of the time and energy we put into our online activity.

POPSProBlogger helps you build a better blog Bryan Person's Social Media Top 10 post drove me to this blog that's about how to get the most out of blogging and how to earn a living off of it. I find the ProBlogger creator, Darren Rowse, to be very intriguing and he does a great job at aggregating everyone's thoughts and experiences on how to blog more strategically. Thanks Bryan, Darren and ProBlogger contributors I am finding the ProBlogger blog to be not only helpful but also inspiring. This is a post-to-blog clip for: clipping the social web, http://www.clipper.typepad.com

POPSJohn Mackey, Cheif Idiot of Whole Foods What John Mackey did really blows my mind. I, along with Shel Holtz, thought of him as a sort of grocery store hero with his Whole Foods Blog. Maintaining a respectable blog, while posting bogus comments on Yahoo Finance message boards like "13 years from now Whole Foods will be a $800+ stock before splits," "while I'm not a 'Mackey groupie, I do admire what the man has accomplished" and my personal favorite "I like Mackey's haircut. I think he looks cute!" Confusing me even more is his response to his actions. He tries to play it off like what he did wasn't a big deal. It is a big deal, especially when, at the same time, you are publishing a "credible" blog to build truthful and authentic relationships with your current and potential customers, influencers and even investors!! I hope he faces serious repercussions for his actions... serves him right for acting so two-faced.
