I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

   Wow Liz, that’s one strong line up. Ok, maybe it’s because I have a thing for writer’s blogs …

   (one can never have too many on bloglines … just need to find more time in a day)

   Hi SeanRox,
   Doug’s blog has been on my watchlist since he worked on the E-metrics document with you. I don’t know what kept me from getting there sooner.

   […] Bingo. Invigorate it did. Today was Week 59 SOBs, which Liz has loaded down with writers blogs. Not that I’m dissing the rest, but it’s writers I’m reseaching this time around. […]

    SO, this is how trackbacks work … :-)

    Although not writing related blogs - Conversation Agent is a perfect choice for a DWB feature (marketing section), Logic + Emotion has already been featured (love L+E), On Influence and Automation is another handy marketing site for a feature, and the Stronger Teams Blog is perfect for the ‘Working With’ series … actually, all are because they fit the criteria - writing, marketing and business. Very nice catch Liz.

    Carson,
    That is SO cool. I hope you’ll join us one Tuesday night when we do open mic so that we can get to know you better. We lively bunch who enjoys everyone. I think you’d fit right in. Come over when you can!

    Cat!
    I’m delighted that you’re getting that blog in working order. I know what an appreciation you have for all of the SOBs. Getting used to how trackbacks take what they see fit is a bit of a jarring experiences at first . . . no worries. We know you and know you like the other blogs too. :)

    Liz, I agree. I’ve used them before, but they don’t alwasys show up so this one was a surprise. Now that they do, I’ll be sure to pay attention to my opening sentence :-)

    Hi Cat,
    Trackbacks are the magic gremlins of blogging to me. If can actually predict when they will show up and when they won’t I’ll be really impressed. :)

    So, I’m a very slow SOB just like Mike Wagner. I just saw this today running a search. Thank you, Liz. And on the same batch with Logic + Emotion! Wow.
