Blog Discovery

How Do You Find New/Interesting Blogs? by Kicks Condor (Kicks Condor)

Mostly, similar to what coldbrain has said, I find blogs when they are casually mentioned on a blog or comment somewhere. Stuff like blogrolls and directories and such just don’t seem to exist. I know, because I’m constantly looking for them!

Reading one blog article that mentions another blog article that then mentions another blog article is the way that I have found interesting content over the years. I have a few hundred feeds in my RSS reader and that helps too. But I am sure that I am missing out on a lot more interesting content.

Right now discovery is one of the weakest areas of the IndieWeb. I think that many people POSSE their content for this reason. I get more readers via Facebook and Twitter than I do via organic Google searches or links from other bloggers. I recently stopped POSSE my posts and ... the traffic has fallen off significantly.

Let Me Link to You by Kicks Condor (kickscondor.com)

I guess I’m caught in my filter bubble again. After #DeleteFacebook, maybe you went back to your bicycle and your Polaroid camera. But maybe you’re out there still—can I still find you?

Hey, I have an idea! Just tell me where you’re at. A link to your personal blog or home page or whatever it is.

Hi, @kickscondor thank you for the invitation. I promise I won’t have too many low-key photos but I have photos of trains.
