Another place people gather information is the blogosphere
if you want to find emerging and under-rated ideas, stop using algorithms.
These ideas are hidden and obscure. They’re the opposite of viral. Instead of relying on algorithms to find them, identify your favorite people and follow the people who influenced them.
Each blog is competing not just to be the leader on a particular story but against all the other topics a reader could potentially commit to reading about (and also against checking e-mail, chatting with friends, and watching videos, or even pornography).
A blog is the ideal machine for turning flow into stock: One little blog post is nothing on its own, but publish a thousand blog posts over a decade, and it turns into your life’s work.
