Wikipedia Called Us Nonsense

So maybe you were around when we got mired in the labyrinth of the Wikipedia, or when we tried to find out why an article, written by Martin Neumann of the Small Office Herald about the Link Leak Virus, a term coined by Mike Sigers, was summarily deleted within minutes of it’s submission.

I actually wrote to Wikipedia about the situation. The official Wikipedia response to my email said I’d get a response in a few minutes . . . that was over 13 days ago. Hope the young man took food and water with him. A reader friend let us know that some editor said that it was “nonsense.” Kudos to the Advice Librarian who helped us make sense of everything.

A Twisty Road

Mike coined the Link Leak Virus. Easton started Blogtipping. Every Saturday, I get to thank you in the nicest way I can think of, and sometimes this old blog springs leaks at unexpected times.

This past week, Darren introduced the concept of Link Lust with the question, If you could GET 3 links who would you want to get them from? I didn’t really think about it, until I ran into the question on another SOB’s blog. Then I felt like answering the question there. Even more exciting and mystifying . . . within 24 hours one of the three links I lusted after happened. I actually got linked!

So I thought it might be fun to have a contest. [Read more…]

What’s Your Idea

The only way that we can own our part of the Magic Middle is to link together.
Remember the post Link Love Raises Your Property Value? Easton Ellsworth invented a Link Love Event called Blogtipping the very next week–the blogosphere was starting to share links. It was so cool. It was made a monthly thing.

Mike Sigers named this phenomena Link Leak.

What Is Link Leak?

Mike Sigers wrote a post explaining Link Leak. He said it was for Martin Neumann at the Small Office Herald, who then named it the Link Leak Project.

Shortly thereafter, Mr. Sigers’ own blog started springing leak after leak.

How Will You Be Leaking Links?

Successful Blog has been leaking links to SOBs since I’ve been here.
Business Blogwire is Leaking Blogtipping Links.
Simplenomics is Simply Leaking Links. Stop over there and tell Mike what your part will be in the Link Leak project. Then come back and leave a comment here to tell me.

Since Easton Ellsworth of BusinessBlogwire got the great idea of starting a Blogtipping Tradition. The Magic Middle Links have started flying and the power is growing. Kids all over the Midwest have given up cowtipping and cows are giving more milk. Farmers are grateful. A parade is in the planning stages.

In attendance were the many players who jumped on the Blogtipping bandwagon. You should go see them.
