For this small site at least... :) Chris: I think that you have a pretty good point there. Some bloggers (particuarly tech blogs) tend to stay in their community and not really acknowledge the others out there. In fact some times the only common ground between these communities seems to be funny YouTube clips...

For example, they would quote numbers like "four million blogs" when there were that many active users on LiveJournal alone. Is it because a portion of those users are teenagers being emo and experiencing teh drama? Who knows...
