Did I spell that right? One of my pet peeves...people who follow without question, suck up, call it what you will, mostly enabling others to maintain an inflated ego and bask in the glory of unwavering adoration. I just can't stand it!!
***The previously mentioned 'expert' on online marketing.......without doubt, plenty of really good advice (some of it common sense but valuable nevertheless), a few mis-steps, but.......having established a reputation as such, directs people to a blog, generating amazing traffic which can be parlayed into a real advantage. There are places that provide sponsorship, advertising opportunities etc which use the number of hits or visitors to select sites they work with. This person's establishing a loyal group of followers can pay off big time.
This week I saw someone actually point that out but the message got quickly lost in the neverending string of kudos and ass kissing.
***The previously mentioned online venue that I believe will sadly fail. A loyal group of supporters offer nothing but sugary sweet praise while steadfastly turning a blind eye to the problems with the site will make it possible for the owner to keep their blinders on and run the site into the ground. Kudos to them for keeping the faith but this is business not a tea party.
***An apparently popular blogger who has a devoted following who add fawning comments like 'oh how cute' etc to posts (and photos) detailing the latest escapades of a child who most experts (and moms for that matter) would say lacks discipline, boundaries and should be long past the destructive behavior they exhibit with alarming regularity. I could go on for hours. What is excused as mischievous and amusing 'scrapes' are more the sign of a parent more interested in other distractions like blogging. Why doesn't anyone (including me) actually stand up to her and say 'hey lady, your kid is a brat and you let them run riot, any responsible mother wouldn't finding it amusing that her x year old is so destructive and disobedient, let alone be writing about it'
