Focusing on commenting on the blogs of others

I'm not doing much in the way of writing my own blog posts today, but rather I've focused on commenting on the blogs of others. This has three benefits:

1. It gets your name propagated around the "blogosphere", increasing your "cloud" or recognition.
2. It increases the inbound links to your blogs since most comment forms allow you to specify a link URL that sits under your name.
3. All but the largest bloggers tend to read their comments and frequently engage in email discussions with them (assuming you write an interesting comment), and this helps build your human networking "cloud".

I've added some Technorati tags in the text there. I hope they're not too distracting.
