The 22 Immutable Laws of Blogging
17 Aug2006
Ripping off a starting point from Buzz Canuck, who gave us the 22 Immutable Laws of Word of Mouth Marketing, originally derived from Ries & Trout:
- First Impressions Always Stick
- Half Baked Ideas Are Better Than No Ideas
- Big Voices, Small Minds
- Good Ideas, Badly Presented
- Catch Phrases Imply Wisdom
- Intellectual Plagiarism Is Rarely Called Out
- The Ends Justify The Means
- Building An Audience: Political Theory Versus Fashion Commentary
- The SlipStreaming to Notoriety By Commenting Strategy
- Lost Alliances: Disappointment, Disillusionment, Betrayal and Retribution
- Google Juice Bests All Comers
- If I Blog, I Must Podcast
- Pig-Headed Contrarians Stand Out
- Setting Up An Intellectual Straw Man
- Sympathy Drives Traffic
- Go Big Or Go Home
- Flying By the Seat Of Your Pants
- The Sisyphus Corollary: Down Doesn’t Mean Out!
- Another Day, Another Lame-Ass Idea To Float
- Opposition By The MSM Validates Me
- One Comment Is A Fad; Three Trackbacks Is A Trend
- When In Doubt, Join A Blog Network

Oh, that’s Really. Just. Brilliant. Look for me to steal the whole post (with appropriate linklove, of course!) to expand on a couple of points.
However… if law 4 (Good Ideas, Badly Presented) is true… and you have a spankin’ new presentation format… does that mean your ideas are now bad?

No. The laws are not exclusionary, so this post would count as an amalgam of:
First Impressions Always Stick
Half Baked Ideas Are Better Than No Ideas
Catch Phrases Imply Wisdom
And
Pig-Headed Contrarians Stand Out

I would suggest that plagiarism of any kind is rarely called out in the blogosphere. Thus, I will also shamelessly steal this dose of brilliance and call it my own…
By the by, I can’t fit my entire blog address into your comment field… clearly, it can’t be the 300+ characters required to do so. It must be your fault.

Clearly an evolved mind at play here…I believe together we could put a book deal in place with our lists - however, it’s a shame you fall just before me alphabetically - I don’t want to be on seiond billing!
Great list - 5, 19 and 22 I’ve taken to heart…7, 8, 11 beg more explanation..cheers
