I had an interesting comment through Bakersfield.com’s profile services, part of which read: “…Looking forward to seeing how prolific you'll be here at Bakersfield.com" Recently I was at a local music show. I ran into a guy and mentioned the new profiles, blogging, and audio aspects of Bakersfield.com. He said, “I don’t see the Californian blogs going anywhere. It’s just going to be incestuous,” meaning that perhaps Californian’s blogs might fall within an inclusive group of staff and friends. Already I have seen people who have criticized the Californian, myself included, use the new profile system for self-promotional and other promotional aims. So I would have to disagree with the incestuous comment. Dan Pacheco of Bakersfield.com once indicated during a music night at Fishlips in downtown Bakersfield that the Internet is a huge love fest… and such cyber love is give and take. It takes a lot of sharing links to truly help each other’s sites to rise in the realm of Internet rankings. We’ll see if I use the blogs very much. I look at it this way. I already have a blog engine that works really well. But yes, I am all for helping build an online community. And that means interacting even deeper within the recently termed “Bakosphere” (I already interact within bakotopia.com and MAS). (http://www.nlbelardes.com/b...>read the full article)
