blog timing with ‘brrreeeport’ and Scoble

Posted by The Technocrat | Filed under Geeky

An interesting concept from Scoble.

Looking at the results, I find it interesting that the search engines and blog tracking sites aren’t nearly as quick on the uptake as we previously thought. This puts serious doubt on how a person is supposed to use a blog for ‘breaking news’. It seems like is anyone were to blog on a breaking news story, the story would be on the news sites, and possibly in the paper, by the time a search engine of blog index picked it up.

Interesting. This puts a new perspective on the professional-blogger world. To stay relevant, you need high traffic, RSS subscription rates, or exceptional content. It doesn’t seem like you’ll make it happen just because you’re the first to know…
