Coming First.
A-listers have louder online voices. That's a no-brainer. As are some A-listers. But what about the commenters? If you are first to comment on an A-lister's blog, does that give you louder voice?
My facetious umbrage at being recently beaten to the comment punch on this blogpost led me to whimsically wonder whether fast blog commenting is a marketing skill we all need to cultivate. The vision included aggressive bloggers with an umbilical relationship with comment-monitoring software, RSS aggregators and no real world life.
Chris Yeh one-upped me again by positing the idea of using "automated comment generators that parse the RSS feeds of the A-Listers and then push out pre-generated comments on specific topics."
I have seen the future! Happy Monday!

Interesting link Ann, I was all for it until I got to the action point requiring me to make a "flattering" comment. I may struggle on that one!
