Watcher Wanted

· Tuesday, May 20, 2008 · No comments

It genuinely saddens me to report that Rick Moran has decided to relinquish his position on the Watcher’s Council and, consequently, there’s now an empty seat to fill. If you have a blog, considering applying for it—the current rules are here.

Not long ago a scholar at Carnegie-Mellon produced a network analysis of the blogosphere that suggested that you could get a pretty good idea of what was going on by reading just 100 blogs. Present or emeritus Watcher’s Council members were heavily represented in that 100.

The Watcher’s Council is a great way to find new readers, make a difference, and to punch above your weight class.

If you’ve applied before and failed to get a seat, please apply again. I know precisely who my preferences would be for new Watchers. You know who you are.
