hegemonic blog?
in a recent conversation with a close friend, we talked about blog innovations and internet traffic. one of the topics that was talked about in depth was how to get people to your site. i know that i have sent this link to a few people (and from my stat counter i know they have checked it out) and cannot seem to get people to comment on anything that i have written.
this brings me to my point: hegemony. i think a lot of people (at least the ones who know what it means) underestimate the meaning of this word. of course there are meanings to it that include coercive or consensual behavior, but what really is the motive behind such a phrase. the underlying tone in my posting these comments is to get some reaction, but to what extent will i go to get more traffic to my site?
in some upcoming posts, i hope to bring insight into some theory behind social interaction, behavior, and reasoning. maybe if you read this, you might be compelled (in a consensual manner, hehe) to feel involved in this task i call a blog.

after re-reading my post in depth, i sound like a little girl. i do not want this post to come across as being whiney or complaintant in the least sense of the term, just bear with it til i get some better stuff to talk about...
