stevenberlinjohnson.com: On Second Thought:
It occurs to me that Jason’s put entirely the wrong spin on this whole pledge drive thing. He’s not asking for donations. He’s selling PageRank! A link from Kottke.org has got to have enough cred with Google to make any blogger want to shell out $30 bucks for a Kottke link to his or her front door. Now — that’s a real “A-List blogger” business
What an idea . . . do I want to gamble $30, given my precarious income (ie, not unlike Kottke’s but without the global reach)?
