crazy, but true. thanks. i'm cataloguing these for future “million-dollar” idea gen.

Maybe addressing some of the problems with growth and the advantages of being small will help figure out how to address the question at hand:

Potential Issues with Growth
a. A lot of commenters on the website/blog makes it tougher to interact with each commenter. You lose the individual touch that a blogger with a smaller audience can provide.
b. Tougher to make newcomers feel welcome as growth continues.
c.

Small
a. Makes people feel like a big fish in a small pond
b. Quick response to your audience's questions, participation, etc.
c. Cater to your specific niche (maybe, maybe not, but it may be tempting to be everything to everyone as you get biger??)

What do you think? Do you think I am on track? What can you add or remove from these lists? I guess the next step is to figure out how to maintain the “small” feel as growth occurs.

I love your question. It really made me think.

See ya.

here's a q for u tho… as the blog network gets larger… how do you still maintain and keep it smaller?
