Was it something I said?
Well, kinda…
I compose the previous post (right below this one here), and
suddenly, traffic flows wildly into Pow! from all directions. The payoff of a premonition?
Again, well kinda.
In a lucky break of serendipitous
timing, my lil' ol' blog was be featured as part of the Z-List, another meme that seems
to be sweeping the blogosphere.
In a nutshell, the Z-List is an
initiative of Mack Collier, he of The Viral Garden blog fame. In his words:
"In an effort to bring more link-love to those blogs that I feel aren't getting their due, I've created a small list of blogs below that I've linked to.
"The idea is
to create a meme built around giving link-love to the blogs that deserve it,
and hopefully turn Technorati's system of using a blog's # of links to
determine its 'authority', on its ear."
Mack goes along to encourage
bloggers to cut, paste and add other deserving lesser-knowns to the list, and
then post it to increase traffic, recognition and, of course, good karma. The list, as you’ll see below, has
significantly grown in length…and breadth.
So to Mack Collier and all others who chose to Surprise the gang at Surprise Central this weekend (including Nick Rice of the Cre8tive Group), consider your mission accomplished. And despite my previous status on Lists A-to-D (in the fields of showbiz parties, speaking, exec level and hockey skill respectively), consider it also truly appreciated.
Now go get 'em!
