Who Is Listening?

April 5th, 2009 bclark No comments

When I created this blog, WordPress was proud to give me some statistics about how popular its blogs are. This is one of 148,129 new posts created today.

Stats are all over the place about how many messages a person receives in a normal day. Lots of studies have talked about this saturation.

How many people are receiving the messages? How many of the 37 million-plus words written on WordPress or its platforms (as of my writing this) are read?

That’s what this blog is (now – updated 11:10 p.m.) about.

In a time of user-generated content, can all of the stuff being created actually be meaningfully consumed? How – without spamming everyone who’s a friend, connection, or follower – can I get my message distributed. And am I sending the best message to them?
