Go see No Impact Man.
It’s been a humbling experience trying to keep up with G.L. – fellow JobDig blogger and critically acclaimed author of What Would Dad Say (WWDS). His daily traffic numbers crush mine, as do his Technorati rank and authority, his Career 100 rank, and his RSS subscribers. An already sizable lead will be infinitely expanded when [...]
There Is No Positive Alpha In Daily Newspaper Stocks
Shocking that a recent post on seekingalpha.com shows how poorly daily newspapers fared in maintaining, let alone growing, their market share in 2007. Of the 17 media companies examined, the 3 worst performers were New York Times, McClatchy, and Gannett. Also not surprising was the fact that [...]
I am curious to see what type of traffic I can generate by posting a blog with the words Eliot Spitzer and Ashley Alexandra Dupre in it. I apologize if this ticks off any of my 5 regular readers, but I just want to see what happens.

Earlier this week, Jason Davis announced the winners for the best recruiting blogs of 2007 on Recruitingblogs.com.

If you like this blog and feel so inclined, I would greatly [...]
Jason Davis, RecruitingBlogs.com, and ZoomInfo are accepting nominations for the best recruiting blog on the web, with voting to begin December 14th. A few days ago, I went to the site to nominate my own blog (as all good bloggers do, right?) and was pleasantly surprised to discover that someone had already nominated Diggings. I [...]
Last week, I wrote a post on how writing a blog helps you better understand the phenomena of search and search engine optimization (SEO). I don’t know why, or if it’s common among bloggers, but I am fascinated by the search phrases that lead people to my blog and the impact that various posts have [...]
As I mentioned in a post some time ago about why I write a blog, one of the most significant benefits of doing so is that it increases one’s knowledge of and appreciation for the web. By blogging on a somewhat regular basis and actively participating in the community of bloggers related to what we [...]
