Why bloggers should run the tech industry

Unsolicited, “The Doctor” took the list of 50 guest columns in my Technology and my Hobby series and sorted them by hobby and added the columnist's affiliation.

Let me repeat: it was unsolicited.

Imagine if you had asked your software vendor to do that. 4 days later they would call and say they could not replicate the problem. Your systems integrator would have presented you a change order. Your wireless carrier would have extended your contract by 2 years.

But bloggers do these favors for readers.

Now you may quibble it was self-serving for Michael to put himself on top of the list.

To which I say living with our egos is a lot cheaper than paying your industry analyst’s annual subscription – and living with their egos:)
