Happy Blogtipping Day – August

by Starbucker on August 1, 2006


Since I’m on the road today, once again time does not allow me to comply with Easton’s 3 blogtip at a time suggestion, but here’s one to celebrate this great “day of connecting”.

I’m blogtipping Christine Kane today, and there are three reasons (plus a bonus) why:

  1. Christine is a wonderful writer – it’s not just the content of the posts that get me (more on that later), it’s the way that they are written – they grab you and hold you in such a “conversational” way you can almost hear her speaking.
  2. The content addresses “relatable” topics - Christine is great at looking at simple little concepts and finding meaning and insights that can improve your life – one of her most reccent posts on the idea of being “THERE” is a perfect example
  3. Christine engages you in virtual conversation – Christine just doesn’t stop with the post; if you take the time to comment you will always get a response that adds to the conversation (and the insights). It works that way in reverse too (on your blog).
  4. BONUS: She’s a heck of a musician and songwriter, and has a great sense of humor to boot.
  5. Suggestions: Her posts would make great topics for Podcasts. Also, I’d like to see occasional “quick hits” of advice/thoughts that aren’t so lengthy (for over-caffinated short attention spanners like me!)

Great blogtipping post and I agree wholeheartedly with your words here.

Wow! I JUST now saw this. (My blog software is acting up. Or Technorati is misbehaving.) I had no idea you blog tipped me! Thank you. And very sweet thoughts and compliments. Thanks even more! I’ll TRY to take your suggestion to heart. It’s just that once I get thinking about a topic, I hold it upside down and look at it from every angle… so then there’s so much to say about it.

I have to do the blog-tipping thing. It’s such a good idea. I didn’t know it was a first-of-the-month thing.

Okay, so since you want quick advice… don’t watch American Idol.

oh yea. and i’m working on the podcast idea. i’ve had lots o’ people suggest that to me.

Yes, that was quick! You’ve convinced me – I’m giving up American Idol. Maybe you can send me a DVD of one of your concerts for me to watch instead :-) Or better still, come to the NY area so my wife and I can see you live.

Look forward to the podcasts!
