Attention CIMTB Peeps! Google Reader is my best friend!

Google Reader allows me to find out when people are blogging about all kinds of things. I've always wanted this community of bloggers to stay in the loop. But you don't have to. I just want you to know how easy it is to be the most informed Portland music blog.

On the right hand side of this page I've posted a sweet widget of some feeds I think you might be interested in . If you have a couple minutes to read someone else's music blog you should totally do it. Especially try to check out our friends at Northwest Noise. I've conveniently listed a bunch of links to other Portland music bloggers.

Click on one of the links and it will redirect you to a new page. If you use "tabs" you can right click and "open in a new tab". You can also click on "read more" and be redirected to the full page.

Remember if you are going to leave a comment on another blog, you are a guest in their home. For example Northwest Noise doesn't like it when you tell them their favorite song is shitty... They won't publish your comment. Try being nice first and then if someone has posted something you really can't stand I guess just ignore it.

CIMTB peeps. Let's get tight with our PDX brothers and sisters and show them that it's OKAY to have an online community of bloggers. That it will actually help everyone and we will all end up with better content.

Blogs: My Indie College or How I learned to love SEO Chicks

Blogs are a dialog! For an example of what I mean please go to this link and read the blog and the following comments!: Example of Why Blogs are Awesome

"SEO Chicks: The SEO Blog with attitude" taught me AND provided an awesome learning environment for me.

I woke up this morning to find I had a new subscription post in my Google Reader file titled "Google Blog Search: Crappy Indie Music". I subscribe to that particular Google Blog Search so that I can see if anyone is blogging about something in my blogs' department.

And the Google Blog Search did it for me. They sent me a link to the article that somehow used the words "crappy indie music" in the text or tagged "crappy indie music".

I woke up. Got all excited and opened the article up. Read it. And then posted a really articulate and wise response to what this chick had written*.

And then I got a response about what I had written.

And then I left another comment.

And then got another response.

Please, for entertainments sake. Go to the link I provided. You will read a real dialogue between two complete strangers and find out for your bad self how you can use blogs to promote, directly or indirectly, your beautiful self. AND LEARN COOL STUFF FOR FREE!!! (woot woot, raise the roof!)

And like this work of art:



It really blows my mind!

I LOVE THIS STUFF MAN! :-)
