Generally helpful selflinks

May 24, 2006 5:05 AM

This user links to his own blog in six answers from the thirteen he has provided for other AskMe users, including recommending his own blog as one of his favourites. His only comment on the blue links to his blog. I am reluctant to bring this up as the answers he provides are generally helpful, on the other hand he seems more likely to help if he can link to his website. I guess Matt can decide is this is insidious spamming or not.

He runs a "business weblog consulting company."

From his profile:
You may get in touch with Amit for technical writing, blog consulting, software reviews, web research, blog monetizing tips and e-learning consulting opportunities.

My guess is that he's just a little unclear on the concept. I dropped him an email to let him know that he should be a bit more sparing with the links to his own blog and/or more upfront that the links he's providing all go to his own site (which is linked in his profile, so it's not a total secret).

I like his answer in the 'blogs you love?' question. 'Why, I love my own blog!'

Which key is the 'any' key?

Yeah, that dense ego fog sure makes it hard to see obvious things clearly.

OTOH, I thought his blog was pretty interesting.
