  One thing that jumps out immediately is that several of the top bloggers are not (yet) on Twitter including: Seth Godin, Markus Frind, Linus Torvalds and Marc Andreessen among others.  .  80% of the bloggers on the list are on Twitter.    It is also a lot easier to Twitter than to blog.

A couple of good examples are Startup Company Lawyer , Instigator Blog , Blog Maverick and Marc Andreessen. Make sure you tag blog posts with a category and then have those categories visible at the top of your blog. There are millions of blogs out there and they all look pretty much the same. Create site navigation.

If you haven’t figured out the ecosystem, growth is useless – whether it is a acquisition-only viral loop, like Tagged, or an advertising blitz like countless dot-bombs.

Once you decide to check email, follow this pattern: Quickly scan your inbox for important emails and mark them as ‘Priority’ (using a tag or star). I use tags in Gmail for this. Archive them all. Mark any other emails that are important, but not time sensitive, as ‘Later’. Note: This means you won’t answer every email you get.
