    I started new blog, description is here.


    link: vivateh.blogspot.com (I can't leave working links).


    I've to say that this blog was partly inspirated by DP and digg.com etc. what I've been recently working with. :D

    I'm not totally sure what gonzo writing is, I think it's fairly rough way to write articles... but I think "gonzo" looked good on blog description,
    that's why it is there. :p

    Feedback about first blog articles would be appreciated and overal about the blog.

    I thought this blog would be some kind of "Rock'n and Roll!" approach for internet marketing, even tought sometimes it's really boring subject to write about. :)

    Yes, Hunter S. Thompson.


    I'm not saying my blog really is like real gonzo journalism, it's maybe more that I'm keeping it as my 'goal' while writing new articles.

    You know... fairly quickly writed, not so polished etc.

    I like the direction of the blog; it kinda interests me because I just started one the other night as well.

    For blog articles I think you are alright with quick articles/post if that is your mo. On the other hand, I have always used keyword articles on my blogs/sites.

    Of course it's relative, what's quick or not, but I'm not using hours for writing blog articles. Couple times I did it earlier with my other blog, but I really didn't see any difference on comments etc. and I also think that fairly long articles are quite boring to read, no matter how great content they would have. Sometimes I read Wired articles (on their blog) but they are usually so long... it's internet you know. :)

    If you want to maintain blog with "real" articles, I think it goes more into direction of real journalism, rather than blogging, of course nowadays it might be difficult to make distinct between journalism and blogging, since blogs are part of journalism and media. For me blogging has allways been "quick" action, you've to write story while it's fresh. :)

    PM me the link, if you don't dare to post it here.


    Yes.


    You mean keyword tagging? I'm afraid it's not possible with blogger.
