Pimping the 'net services

One of the things I absolutely love about blogs is how they pimp new stuff.

This is the “echo chamber” that people tend to talk about---once a new, cool tool, service, or flash cartoon shows up, the blogosphere bubbles over with everyone’s individual version of “hey, this is really cool! check it out!”

And because of that spirit, when I find something new and cool, I’ll give it a shout out. That’s why I’ve posted about both Start.com and Icerocket.com here.

But why am I suddenly explaining this? Because I’ve just used the Icerocket blog search to find out that my Start.com entry is linked to on the MSN Start.com Profile page, along with posts by the likes of Jason Calcanis.

It feels good to be on the map. Even if I might be whoring a little bit to get there ;)
