But there's also a concatenation outward as one visits more blogs, for instance, then jumps from them to even more sites he or she might never have known of otherwise. That's the part that's interesting to me, the broadening of knowledge of the community around me, sometimes in almost random ways.James Dorrhttp://jamesdorrwriter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-3463859220138453492011-02-20T10:17:29.074-08:002011-02-20T10:17:29.074-08:00I heart the Internet!

I still hear from other writers about "I'll never blog, I'll never be on Facebook, I'll never...and e-books are just a fad, I'll never buy an e-reader," etc. etc. But the contrast in my experience between then and now--the e-revolution has happened.

The thing we have to keep doing is expanding our contacts into unfamiliar circles so that it's not the same ol' couple of dozen people promoting each other, preaching to the choir.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-18587468070936470872011-02-17T06:53:23.068-08:002011-02-17T06:53:23.068-08:00The Internet has allowed for so much more cross-pr...The Internet has allowed for so much more cross-promoting by authors.
