Day 2: added 3 subscribtions
As per comments left against the USP post, I've added 3 more bloggers to my .Opml file. I think that Jeroen's USP is a little borderline in the compelling stakes but, given the lack of competition he gets in.
I have a USP tailored to your plans: I don't write much. If I write three posts a month it's a lot. The good thing about this is that if you subscribe to blogs like mine you can go around telling everyone you know that you read hundreds of blogs every day, which will provide you with incredible status in the blogosphere. About 27 times out of 30 however, reading my blog daily amounts to not having to do anything. In other words: free status upgrade!
My unique selling points is that my blog doesn't have a lot of content you have to _wade_ through. i.e. stuff about me that you really don't care about and wish I hadn't posted on a blog that is hosted by a site like DOTNETjunkies.com.
I occassionally will post what I think is interesting about computers and what is going on in my area and related to my .Net User Group (since I'm one of the officers), but I try to make most of my posts a short tutorial explaining something that took me a while to figure out. Because of this, I like to post code samples and not just a long paragraph of explanations. Over time, through my post hit counts, I've learned what topics are of particular interest to my readers and what topics noone cares about.
Why should you add my blog to your collection? Well, from my perspective, it would benefit me since I created a couple of T-shirts last week that I, and apparently a few other people, find funny.
As for USP? Well, I try to keep my blog informative and entertaining at the same time. I generally only write about projects and/or ideas I am, or have worked on. I also try to convey to my audience why I think the way I do, even if others don't agree (hey, that's what blogs are for!).
As my blog continues to mature, I hope to have created a useful place for people to find information on IT Design and Architecture, targeting the .Net framework. That was the main reason for starting my blog. The second reason was to have a place to reference my trials and tribulations as I learn more about IT Design and Architecture.
So,
offer still stands... if you post your USP as a comment to this post and I like
it, I'll subscribe to your blog:
