I have a job interview for a job I actually want to get tomorrow. I need to bite the bullet and work like a normal person for a while. There’s too many things I need to buy in order to remain productive in the long run, a new machine for instance. If I get this job, I will surely have practically no time to participate in the Web like I have been. I’ll be back though, some day. Don’t you cry.

In related news, look what happens when I stop blogging every day:

That’s my traffic. And the interesting thing is that this isn’t because of subscriptions as in more people subscribed so fewer posts equals fewer hits… It’s because of

  • the Live-Web search engines like Technorati and WordPress’ back-end,
  • traffic from TrackBacks when I blog about other people’s blog posts,
  • and how Google seems to give higher status to sites that update more regularly.

There are a good deal of searches that I used to come up on the first page for that I’m already falling off of, just because I went on a road trip and wasn’t really blogging for about a week.

Social Currency on the Web requires participation.
