Link Love Costs Nothing
Easton Ellsworth at Blogwire declared today official Blogtipping Day and I’m in. How about you? As
the song goes “Give a little bit . . .” Here’s how it works.
- Choose three or more bloggers you admire and link to them,
- List three reasons why you admire each one.
- Then add a tip at the end.
That’s all there is to it.
Janice Myint
- Janice is the best at her job. She knows what she’s doing.
- Every email and message is filled with smiles and energy. I feel like a valued customer every time she talks to me.
- She takes on big complaints as personal quest, and tackles them like a warrior.
Tip: Janice, be careful. The whole blogosphere is going to be proposing marriage to you, and trying to steal you away.
Jeremy Wright
- Jeremy’s a great guy with a heart as big as the world.
- He works hard, doing thousands of things, but never loses his humanity.
- He makes things happen for other people and asks nothing in return.
Tip: Jeremy, don’t wear yourself out. We need you just as you are.
Brian Clark
- Brian teaches me more about writing every time I read his blog.
- He has been a friend to me beyond the call of duty.
- I feel lucky to have him in my address book.
Tip: Brian, stop, breathe and look at what you’ve built. It’s fabulous.
That was fun. I hope I get time to do more before the day is over.

Thanks Liz. You are too sweet.
Martin says
May 1, 2006 at 8:04 PMYeah Brian…
Slow down, mate. Smell the roses, stop pushing yourself so much… 😉
ME Strauss says
May 1, 2006 at 8:20 PMHey, Brian!
I’m the nice one! 🙂
Thanks Martin for backing me up on this one.

May 2, 2006 at 7:42 AMAnd here I thought I’d been slacking off.
ME Strauss says
May 2, 2006 at 7:44 AMHey, Hey, Brain,
For you to slack off, you’d have to go into hibernation. 🙂

May 2, 2006 at 9:53 AMLiz, great job blogtipping! One tiny item – could you fix my last name above? Somehow “Ellston” is appearing on my screen :). At Business Blogwire.
Great feedback for these three fine bloggers, Liz!

Sincerely,
Your dearest friend,

You are the sun and the moon and a brand unto yourself. You deserve every allocade that you get. I am the un official president of your fan club.

May 3, 2006 at 9:32 AMI really feel that we, as blogging colleagues, must support each other. It is what will make this medium the best it can be. Then we all win.
ME Strauss says
May 3, 2006 at 9:36 AMHi Gary,
It’s something so special that I was reading the comments of a post last night to a close friend in an attempt to give her a glimpse at what it is like here on the inside of blogging. (She’s already well-convinced of it’s positive values.)
I wouldn’t know you without my blogs. That would something good in my life I would have missed.
Jeremy Wright says
May 3, 2006 at 11:12 AMHaha, thanks you. You rock. May is “find a center” month for me. Of course, that’s amidst 4 conferences, 5 VC presentations and 60 hours of travel… But, yeah, I’m hoping to actually get some alone time 😉
Gary (Blogoplex) says
May 3, 2006 at 11:49 AMLIz –
I has truly been my pleasure to “get to know you” through blogging. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a person comes through in their writing, no matter what the topic.
ME Strauss says
May 3, 2006 at 10:45 PMJeremy,
No worries. You are what the VCs look for. Tell them to ask me. I’ve been there. I wish you all of the alone time you wish for.
Liz

May 3, 2006 at 10:47 PMGary,
Every word you say goes both ways truly.
