On one hand, I should be honored--the entrepreneurial-centric blog Startupspark mentions lil' ol' Pow! in the same breath as Jeremy Schoemaker's Shoemoney and Dharmesh Shah's OnStartups in his monthly advice-rendering Blogtipping post. Great Surprise to end my week .
On the other hand, I'm the only one that Benjamin Yoskovitch, the spark behind Startupspark, actually doles out some concrete advice to, choosing to throw nothing but glistening, gilded rose petals in the direction of the other two. Don't worry; I'll sweep up what they leave in their wake.
Okay, so I'm a relative newbie to the blogosphere, and like Sylvester in the Tweety Bird cartoons, I'm prepared to take my lumps.
Alright...so I exaggerate. Frankly, all criticism I get should be as constructive and immediately applicable as Mr. Yoskovitch's. So Ben, I hear ya, and I'm gonna apply some of your wisdom to this here page. In return, I'm gonna plug your weekly Carnival of Entrepreneurs...if you give me the cotton candy concession. (And if you tell me who to blow, I may even submit to it.) So get out your umbrella, my friend, and prepare for the deluge of page hits sent your way from Surprise Central.
There are two types of people in this world (well three actually, if you count Easton Ellsworth, who coined the phrase and pioneered the concept of Blogtipping): those who criticize, and those who make things better. And Ben, you are a fine example of the latter...as long as I listen.
Watch this space!
