Recently I came across a great post by a popular Silicon Valley blogger who wrote about how the increase in number of social networking sites and information overload has become a bit difficult to manage. You can also read his entire post on his blog louisgray.com or if you have google account and if you have activated google Buzz then you can also follow him louisgray.

Despite significant attempts at automation, people continue to be human, and thus, emotion is involved. With so much content being created and shared in more places, and the hours in the day not having increased for some time, the potential for data to be distributed and lie untouched is increasing, even as the total number of users of communities grows. Sharing is outpacing user growth in practically every case, so far as I can tell.

I totally agree with his point. It all depends upon the purpose of your writing. Are you writing to gather attention or traffic for your blog or to give a voice for your inner self. Former will melt down with time. At the end nothing but the dissapointment of not getting enough views hovers your mind. I prefer to go by the later. Whether I get read or no read, whether my post gets digg or no digg, whether some one stumble upon or no. It really doesnt matter.
