Seth Godin - Smart AND Gracious!

Imagine me saying this in Don LaFontaine's voice (the movie trailer guy).

"In a world of trying to make as much money as possible online. One man stands alone. Opposing the status quo and bringing reality back to the street."

Well, not really back to the street but definitely back to the blogosphere. I was reading Seth Godin's blog the other day and he had a post that really made me appreciate this guy. The post was simply entitled "Thanks". Not a huge incentive to click on it from my RSS reader but I did nonetheless.

In the post he recounts a challenge from someone to monetize his blog. This is what he had to say. "Not only can't I imagine charging for my blog, I'm practically in debt to the people who read it. I ought to pay them, not the other way around. Every time you read something I write here, you're giving me a gift... attention. It's getting more precious all the time, you have more choices every day, and it's harder and harder to find the time. I know. I'm grateful. I'm doing my best to make your attention worth it."

Wow, well said Seth! And to all the readers of The Big Bald Blog, thanks for the continued support and comments.
