\nWe Do Different Things<\/a>:

\nThe roles many blogs take, not surprisingly, are very different. They fulfill many of the same functions seen in face-to-face social networks: connector, innovator, aggregator, gossip, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

We do different things.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing more flattering than being lumped in blog posts alongside Robert or Jason Calacanis or all the other folks who also write a blog on the web. But you have to realize that we do different things. (people are welcome to disagree with my characterizations of them).<\/p>\n

Robert Scoble<\/a><\/strong> writes about really exciting new things, and he shows videos, and he connects humans, and he scours this space for new amazing things.<\/p>\n

Louis Gray<\/a><\/strong> seems to own the aggregator\/repurposing space, with things like FriendFeed, SocialThing, etc.<\/p>\n

Seth Godin<\/a><\/strong> is a marketer’s marketer, and points out the human experience with products and services.<\/p>\n

Jason Calacanis<\/a><\/strong> has a strong history in the web space, and also talks from a media maker’s perspective.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah Owyang<\/a><\/strong> writes more analysis-based posts on social marketing as an industry.<\/p>\n

I could go on for a while, but I guess the point is this: we all keep blogs. We all type about things. But we’re different and offer a different set of take-aways from our writing and thought processes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is what is so important about newsfeeds and RSS. Using the right software, they bring together all these diverse thought processes. It is almost like have a virtual conference room filled with some extremely interesting and creative people. <\/p>\n

What is often begun as a personal approach towards communication can become, when aggregated, a very rich and very deep conversation, particularly when you add your own perspective on your own blog.<\/em>
