Specified sucking: How to suck up to seven pundit bloggers
Guy Kawasaki sparked a debate by writing "How to Suck Up to a Blogger." Is it ethical to pile schwag and compliments on bloggers? Who the hell cares, it's fun. But it'll take a more careful approach to really win over certain A-list bloggers:
Blogger | Site | Who should suck up | And how |
---|---|---|---|
Mike Arrington | TechCrunch | Web startups | Leak your IPO |
Om Malik | Gigaom | More web startups | Leak your bankruptcy filing |
Robert Scoble | Scobleizer | Unpopular Microserfs | "Robert, your conversations look good naked." |
Gabe Rivera | Memeorandum | Soon-to-be-famous bloggers | Link to the high-and-mighty bloggers |
Kyle Bunch | Blogebrity | Not-even-internet-famous bloggers | Get Amanda Congdon's phone number |
Ryan King and Eran Globen | Supr.c.ilio.us | Stowe Boyd | Buy the next round of beer |
Cory Doctorow | Boing Boing | Everyone who's anyone | Send him whuffie |
