"the evolution of a blogger’s ego I started blogging three years ago this month.  It was a fantastic environment where you had your own “bully pulpit” … a place where you were in charge, you had the mic, and you could say whatever you wanted. I soon learned that bloggers had quite the ego.  They used their bully pulpit to talk about boring stuff (that we were supposed to be interested in) as well as though leadership or subject matter expert stuff.  Bloggers had enough rope to hang themselves with - and some did.  Others became fantastically popular (Seth, Guy, Michael, Chris Brogan), and even internet celebrities." - Vincent Wright from Bookmarklet
