Author of machiavelli.net, proud father of three, interested in shaping network society. Welcome to my blog.The Political Economy of Irrelevance
As I am moving from an institutional job that came with a captive audience (being a professor at a university) to thinking and writing about living-network-society, I am confronted with the harsh realities of the political economy of irrelevance. How do I get people to read my text? How do I get the conversation going we need in order thrive and learn? How do I have an impact? And how do I evaluate and monetarize impact?
My lifeworld crisis if course is not exceptional, it is part and parcel of living in network society. In network society we exist as long as we are part of the network and we are part of the network, when we are linked to.
So the first thing I did was asking Lizzy and Ricardo about the political economy of blogging. They told me to subscribe to directories and to link to other blogs. So do add me to your favorites on Technorati and do subscribe to my RSS-feed. Just click here to subscribe!
“to link to other blogs.”
Great advice. Here are two suggestions:
Atlantic Community: The Open Think Tank on Global Issues
and
Atlantic Review: A Press Digest on Transatlantic Affairs with a Focus on German-American Relations
Another popular piece of advice is: Promote your own work shamelessly…
And: Have a sense of humor and irony. It always helps with blogging. :-)
