There are many disturbing subjects that are made popular for even more disturbing reasons, which evidentally makes a compelling reason to create cheap, mindless, throwaway copy here on this website. There are certain people whose sole "writing" career is producing large quantities of such material. What I've discovered--and others mileage may vary--is that it is easier to work the system from both within and without, while still maintaining my dignity. On the 2Girls0Brain topic, I used the feeding frenzy to both educate and offer social commentary. Since Dave and Nick stated that no one could post the direct link to the website in question, I knew that people would read anything related to the 2G0B trying to find the link. Therefore, I had somewhat of a captive audience to make a social statement. I still write and post original articles based on subjects of my own choosing and interests, but working both sides gives me enough of an education as a writer so I can lay the foundation for future success on my personal website. What I've also found helpful is the banner link from Feedburner that stays in my signature block as sort of a constant advertisement of my last 5 Xombytes. Since it is an HTML link, it constantly updates, which gives me a side project of participating in the Xomba community via comments with the added benefit of self-promotion.
