[...] But for this blog (and perhaps a couple of others), I find myself facing a completely different scenario. Some posts take up to two hours to write, while others of similar length take less than a third of that time. I’m not talking about linkblogging – done correctly or otherwise. [...]

True. In your context, poor linkblogging habits would then be a means of (easily) creating “wrong” or rather not-right conversation – and worse still, the blogger often knows that to be the case.

Thank you for your considerations . For me blogging has become an integral part of my online existence – when I wake up in the morning one of the first questions (after a good cup of Italian coffee) is what news and information will be out there to blog on. Maybe there is too much attention on breaking news and not enough on sharing information and confronting points of view.

I follow about 100 feeds nowadays. I deleted a number of them in time. The ones that I zapped were offering “old hat news”

If blogging is really like a conversation, conversations are networking amongst people who have the same view and perspective on things – the discussion will be on things that are important to them.

So in principle I believe blogs will aggregate people and draw more users only if the conversation is the right one: If you don’t find it entertaining, interesting, and useful you’ll move on – at least I do …
