Doc Searls is involved in a discussion with Seth Finkelstein over the role of a-list bloggers as gatekeepers, and he seems genuinely concerned about this problem. He asks how he can change this. "I'll just add that, if ya'll want to subvert some hierarchies, including the one you see me in now, I'd like to help." The answer is simple Doc, just find a good post from a blogger you haven't noticed before and link to it. You can direct a firehose of traffic to a blog by doing this. On the basis of karma alone it is a good idea. Think about how you would have felt if one of the cool crowd in high school had asked the buck-toothed kid to sit with them at lunch.
