Should I be Lovin' Bloglovin'?

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3730087/urban-fieldnotes?claim=328b3g3cx6v">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>


That ☝up there is the link I just added to claim my blog on Bloglovin. Which means, of course, you can now follow this blog through Bloglovin. I know, I can already feel the collective enthusiasm oozing out of my computer screen. Every time I take another step to attract more followers, something inside me wails in pain. It might be the aging indie scenester lurking in my subconscious, ready to call me a "sellout" whenever I do anything that smacks of capitalist logic. But does that term even have resonance any more? What does it mean to sell out in the digital age, where we all manage our online brands full time? Even I no longer know what it means. Nonetheless, I'm slowing down on this self-promotion thing. I'm just not cut out for it.

  1. You should ask Lisa about Blog lovin I know that she uses it actively for her blog. I wonder if she has found success with it. I'm on there but I have never explored it. I get lots of links from it though... Not quite sure how that happens. Haha
