They Like Me, They Really, Really Like Me

Well at least a couple of readers do. Our esteemed mayor of the MOB, Doug Williams from Bogus Gold payed WaterCoolerWisdom a very nice compliment today. I want to thank him for that. Doug put me in good company with three other excellent "rookie" blogs (Hammerswing75, Surly's Soap Box and Zatera UI). I'm not sure it's deserved, but it's definitely appreciated.

The Minnesota Organization of Blogs has to be unique. It's an association of bloggers, that actually gets together regularly in the real world not just in cyberspace. I've met a wide variety of intelligent and interesting people through the MOB, several of which I would consider friends. We have an organization with a brand and logo, awards, weekly get-togethers for trivia at Keegan's as well as larger events. The more experienced bloggers provide feedback and encouragement to newbies like myself and speak at events. There is a certain synergy that wouldn't exist without the organization. The end results, I believe are a greater number of engaged bloggers producing a better body of work.

I was toying with adding a marketing tag line. I was going to go with "A dozen readers can't be wrong", but now I can use "As mildly recommended by Bogus Gold."
