PodCamp Cape Town – Blog Superstar a Cypress Hill Mash-up…

Most people dont see how much work is really involved in this blog stuff
I didnt know it
I didnt see it
I never saw it until I was actually in it
You really gotta be in it
To understand what its like
But you always gotta
People always gotta read you…

Mike,

Stop bitching – you know you’ll bounce back as flavour of the month soon.

If it’ll help, I can slag you off at my site to drive curious readers to your site to see who it is that I am dissing!!

Hey, n boer maak n plan! I think it was Mick Jagger who said there is nothing worse than not being talked about and there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Anyway I am ready to roll the presses with the Dissing Mike Stopforth blog if you think it’ll help raise that brilliant profile of yours.

BWahaahaahaa!

Kind regards

@Nic – yeah I’ve noticed your relative quiet of late :P

@Sarah – can’t say I’m smart or resourceful enough to have dreamed up or birthed any aliases – eish

@Guy – I fantasize about the publicity you’ve received dude! Today, Vincent Maher’s blog, tomorrow, 3Talk!!!!

@Matt – just not smart enough :P

@Richard – don’t quite understand the comment, but if I call you a tonsil, will you please sue me?

You movers and shakers in the SA Blogosphere are gonna have to figure out WHY you give local bloggers so FEW visitors, because until you can deliver, you will never EARN.

I write about my frustrations here:

LOL… that was an omission on my part. Possibly because you sensibly stayed out of the debacle, much like I had — rolling my eyes every time there was a mention. But I got interested when I suspected the Bolton riddle could be closer to home and until I started reading his blog, which was truly brilliant.

Don’t tell me it’s you, Mr Stopforth?

Mike Stopforth asked for advice on how to create a conspiracy. Why he would ask me, I never created anything except this wonderful CMS that I use.

Mike, since your other venture has a name which conjures up images of a villan or super comuputer which needs to be destroyed in order to SAVE the world, Im quite sure that the TMNT, He-Man, Transformers and other super hero bloggers (Hiro Nakamura perhaps) are working on a plan which should ensure you see lots of “action” in the near future. :-P

Keep it up … the “Idea Virus” will spread and comments will be aplenty!
