Seth's Blog: The number one secret of the great blogs

I wonder who from HN is in Seth's tribe and keeps upvoting his wonderfully perceptive and sagacious posts.

Tribes are great if your goal is be an Internet celebrity. There are other models, like creating great content, providing helpful resources and tools or simply entertaining your readers.

And yet, being an internet celebrity is most valuable.

Seth's really been going on about this Tribes kick. I suppose it's fair, considering one can see tribe-building as the goal of marketing.

And that he just wrote a book about it.

Reminds me of Chris Duncan's book, "Unite the Tribes" (http://www.amazon.com/Unite-Tribes-Ending-Business-Success/d...). Similar yet different.

"Tribes". Ugh. One of the worst concepts that keeps getting reapplied to people on the internet.

so pretty much focus on a sub-niche if you want to be successful as a blogger?
