Brrreeeport. It’s What’s for Dinner

by Max Hartshorne on February 16, 2006

Remember that word, brrreeeport. It’s not a city in Connecticut, nor a new flavor of frozen yogurt. It’s the word that a famous blogger made up to try to string all of the ‘Z list’ bloggers into a more powerful collection. You may have remembered another post that talked about how some blogs get all of the links and the eyeballs, and others languish, with only a small number of readers.

Robert Scoble is known as the controversial employee blogger at the software giant, Microsoft. He posits that the big “A list” blogs only link to one another, and threw down this little word like a gauntlet: Post this word and let’s see how many of us little guys can get noticed.

Well, let’s see what happens. Thanks, Web Pro News!

I also saw some discussion about search engine reports for this word too and google getting some flak for it, but I might be wrong, I looked up at it in a hurry!
