    • Ryan said: Robin Sloan nails the important part of balancing the flow of updates, tweets, links, and general social participation with the stock of long-form writing, blog posts, articles, and even books. What's your stock/flow balance look like today? This week? This year?
      Quote: I feel like flow is ascendant these days, for obvious reasons -- but we neglect stock at our own peril. I mean that both in terms of the health of an audience and, like, the health of a soul. Flow is a treadmill, and you can’t spend all of your time running on the treadmill. Well, you can. But then one day you’ll get off and look around and go: Oh man. I’ve got nothing here. Added: January 19, 2010 at 2:17PM EST

    • Ryan said: I'm no Kurt Warner fan, but reading blog posts like this one at places like Deadspin is starting to drive me to write more in my own voice. Again.
      Quote: It's difficult to describe Warner, when he's on, when he's '99 Warner, as anything other than bionic. He is a robotically constructed quarterback machine, showing no emotion, no fear, no joy, no panic: He throws the ball exactly where it's supposed to go because that's where it's supposed to go. It's not the chaos of Favre, or the nerdy precision of Manning, or the All-American faux heroism of Brady. There's nothing to it at all: Warner just hits exactly his spot and then jogs down the field to do it again. It's unnerving. It's inhuman. It does not compute. Added: January 14, 2010 at 12:30PM EST

    • Ryan said: Chris Brogan runs down some of the textbook tactics of the best professional bloggers. Hint: He's one of them.
      Quote: Before you write, consider what you're seeking. Do you want the post to drive a sale? Do you want it to engage your audience? Do you want the post to handle some mechanical goal, such as receiving more links, more bookmarks, and thus improve the rank of your site? Maybe your posts only serve to point out that you're the thought leader. Know your goals before you post Added: December 14, 2009 at 2:59PM EST

    • Ryan said: Good advice for job-seekers, freelancers, and Internet denizens in general: "Your blog is the most direct line to you and your business. It’s what new followers and visitors read to determine if you’re someone they’d like to get to know better or if you can provide value to their lives or businesses. Don’t neglect it."
