I’m Not The Only One Advocating Flame Wars

I’m out there every day for you folks, trying to find new and interesting stuff to help you punch up your blogs and help out your bottom line, but man, this is always a surprise.

Today, I give you validation out of nowhere.

I’ve been consulting a list of blog points on web entrepreneur Seth Godin’s blog, and one of his–number fourteen–was almost exactly the same as one I gave you maybe two weeks ago.  Check this out:

14. Be snarky.  Write nearly libelous things about fellow bloggers, daring them to respond (with links back to you) on THEIR blog.

Okay, I don’t suggest libel, or even NEAR libel, but the idea of combining two of my earlier concepts–comment on other people’s blogs and be snarky–is entirely too exciting an idea not to mention.  Plus, it’s always awesome to see that other people you’ve never heard of think about the same way you do; it’s something like validation of your thought process.  Naturally, you want a few new and interesting ideas that no one else has had, but when others in the field occasionally think like you do, it’s a good sign that an idea’s got some heart.

So if you’re thinking about starting that minor flame war on your blog, folks, then be sure to invite someone else along for the ride!
