Monday Reader Mail: 47

By QBlog in Reader Mail

Today's Reader Mail is a bit of a departure from the norm. It features an email from Don Hargraves, one of the original Amway/Quixtar website operators.

name: Don Hargraves
date: June 12, 2005

message: Just so you know, I've started a blog of my own. At present it's formless, I plan on letting the topics develop on their own.

Anyway, here it is: An Outsider in Saul Alinsky's World

And your blog is in my list of blogs - the first one on that list, in fact.

It's cool that he's blogging. I usually don't link brand new blogs like this because so many just start up and quickly fade away but I have confidence that Don's will continue for quite a while.

Don has been following the Quixtar BLOG since the beginning. It was his encouraging emails in those early days that helped convince me that maintaining my blog was worth the effort.

For those that don't know, before this blog there weren't any blogs about Quixtar. None. Zilch. Nada. Just a bunch of websites similar to Don's Memory Hole and a couple of message boards. So, I was concerned that people seeking Amway/Quixtar information just wouldn't "get" blogging. In fact, for a long time I had a big "blog explanation" on the main page to define blogging for newcomers.

Anyway, Don's blogging and his efforts look promising. If you've ever spent time at his other site you'll see that he's a pretty fascinating guy. So go check out An Outsider in Saul Alinsky's World and say howdy to Don.

Wow! Thanks for the plug.

At present it's more of an old-school blog (as envisioned), but I expect some subjects to pop up more than others.

Hope you all enjoy it.

Nice nice. I haven't read it yet as it's not on current issues. But hey, that is your niche. Go dominate it :)

It is good to have that info on web :)
