My Brilliant Idea (I suppose That Is Open To Debate...)

Well it seems that my inaugural blog posting didn't kick off this blog like I thought it might.....meaning that I got caught up with other projects, forgot about old faithful here and never returned. However, all of this has changed. I'm going to go out on a limb and do a little experiment. As the title of this blog suggests, I want to see if this blog can actually be "the best blog in the world". I want to see if I can generate traffic to this blog and interesting, topical discussions. I might even see if I can't generate a little bit of revenue. Thus, from this day forward (for about the next year or so), I will undertake this experiment.

For this experiment to be successful, we should think about what makes a blog worthy of being bombarded by a neverending stream of faithful bloggers and other internet users. Problogger.net has some interesting articles and tidbits of advice on what makes successful bloggers. Well my goal is to use their tools, network with other bloggers, business people, artists and whoever else might want to be a stakeholder here to make this blog successful. At Christmas time this year, I will evaluate how well my experiment is going. In July of 2008, I will be able to do a final evaluation of my experiment and determine whether to continue on this path of destruction (ok, I exaggerate a little), to alter my blogging techniques or to abandon the blog entirely (okay, the third one I would never do...you see how I exaggerate?).

If you would like to donate to this experiment, you can paypal me at spyyderr69@hotmail.com (eventually I would like to code a donate button for the blog). Depending on the success of the blog, I would like to make a donation to a charity. Hopefully this blog will be uber successful so that I can make a very LARGE donation to a charity (did I just make up a word? Uber?).

Anyhow, thats about it for now. I recommend www.problogger.net to anyone interested in blogging as they have quite a bit of useful information there. Also, if you happen to check out my blog, please add me to your favourites. My long-term goal here is to have the success of this blog lead to a full-time business venture, but I will need your help! Also, if you have any topics you would like to discuss, please don't hesitate to post a comment. I am open to discussing a wide variety of topics. After all, the underlying goal of this blog is to open the lines of global communication and to get people talking about issues and topics that affected us in the past, affect us now or will affect us in the future.

Take care for now!
