The "Creating Passionate Users" blog is now in the Technorati Top 100. The big question is... why? We're not the brightest crayons in the box, or the best writers, and we rarely participate in A-Lister topics... so it's got to be something else. More importantly, are there lessons learned that can help someone else with their blog (or other content)? I have my own theories (one of them: this blog tries to practice what it preaches in making it far more about you than about us). The only way to make this top 100 thing useful to anyone is to reverse-engineer the blog and try to make some general principles others can apply (if they're interested in having a lot of readers)...

Found this post very meaningful. And something that struck me was the others-oriented nature of this blog. Which is very much in contrast to my own blog, which is very naturally self-centred. Heh... :) that's the truth of it.
I like this quote that goes: "Look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Do read the comments in that blog post - they are very very meaningful. If you don't read the comments, you're missing out on a great learning experience.
