Interesting that a large percentage of your readers claim not to know who you are, Chris. Let’s hope that most of them are joking!

I can’t help but think that your blog lately does a good job of reminding me of the “Aaron Wall story”. Get a name and reputation with awesome content and fresh thinking and then continue to update on a more-than-regular basis with trivial, debauched posts.
I’m still subscribed to yours and Aaron’s blogs in the hope of some pearls showing up once in a while.

I think for you to bounce around at different sites is only a good thing for you and can only help your branding. The reality is that not many people could even pull that off Chris. That’s a gift you have, so use it.

As long as your posts say something useful it is fine.

I use to be involved in town politics and we had some members who spoke on every issue just to hear themselves speak. Didn’t say anything useful. They became parodies of themselves.

For most people I’d say you’re not overexposed. Since you and I do similar things and operate in the same circles, I see your name frequently.

I second Aaron’s suggestion — it’s a great idea.

@ses5909: You don’t have read everything, you know! This is where a service like Google Reader helps, I star the posts I want to read on first pass, then mark everything else as read. Then I go read the starred posts. I can even keep up with Boing Boing this way, because I don’t read probably 80% of what they publish.

Chris, I like running into your posts around the web and I think it’s having a positive effect on your feedburner count.

I do have a suggestion though. Since you are writing so many posts around the web, I think your personal site would be a great place for more in depth, pillar content that will stand the test of time. That will help you distinguish chrisg.com from the many articles you’re sharing around the web. It’ll also encourage social bookmarking which never hurts!

I am still pretty new to the blog world. I subscribe to a dozen, read four daily, post on two a few times a week, and have two favorites for two different reasons. You definitely have the personality and realize. I will try to explore a little more to find the other avenues you write through, then maybe my opinion will be a little more valid. Although, I read your chrisg journal everyday, and would probably read 3 or 4 more of your journal’s a day. Keep it up.

No, I don’t think it is overkill. However, I think by far the easiest way to blog is to blog about blogging. To create frequent and interesting content about non-blogging subjects… that is a real challenge and shows real writing skill.

I can understand that. Especially in the blogs about blogging subject there is quite an active echo chamber, which is one of the reasons I rarely post “news”.
