Case in point, the whole "numbers game" -- it's really not at all useful to measure success entirely by traffic, or uniques, or what have you. Conversation, though it leads to more impressionistic that quantitative measurements, is I think a far better indicator of a good blog. There's also a great tool -- you've probably already seen it, tho -- at <a href="http://technorati.com/search?advanced" rel="nofollow">technorati</a> that can search for external "reactions" to a blog. What better measurement of success exists than the acknowledgment, good or bad, of one's peers? Oh, and by the way, Spinvox is a great service, and a great complement to pdas like the iphone and advanced voicemail providers -- I use <a href="http://www.gotvmail.com" rel="nofollow">gotvmail</a>, for example -- so I definitely appreciate the perspective here. Great interview…actually I’ve been working on a few company blogs in my recent freelance misadventures, so it’s nice to know that we share a lot of the same perspectives.
