Wow. Great analysis by Adam on what A-list bloggers do that makes them A-listers (hat tip Steve). Follow this advice, and you could end up here.
"The A-listers are viewed by many as pundits or pontificators – but from my perspective these guys are not actually putting forth a whole lot in the way of declarative statements or analysis (at least not through their blogs). In fact I’d say they’re acting more like radio DJ’s (playing attractive mixes of someone else’s original content), rather than artists. (Note: I’m going to chime in on podcasting in a later post)
"Although most of them are very intelligent, they’re really not using a blog as a platform for conveying intelligent thoughts – they are primarily routing people to other content, sometimes providing summary information."
