I've got to figure out a way to do this blogging thing better. Yesterday I posted on the MacIver Institute video about phony doctors' notes being handed out like candy at the Madison Wisconsin protests before it went viral. When I added the video to a post it had only been viewed 304 times. I looked at the video this morning on Youtube and it has over 55,000 hits. Now it's on Hot Air, Right Wing News, and Michelle Malkin's site (all great sites by the way).
Getting there first doesn't matter. Recognizing an important story doesn't matter (although I did schedule my post to go out 2 hours later than I finished it, so I didn't fully recognize the importance). What matters is getting people to listen. Clearly I'm a blogging idiot or I would have been a better help in spreading this news story. In the end, the important thing is the story got out. Meanwhile, I have to learn to blog smarter.
