I agree that knowing what a blogger likes to write about and keeping up with that is the key to garnering interest. And even then there are no guarantees. Relationships are even more important. Knowing people personally gives a more intimate view into what might interest them, and even passing on tips that have nothing to do with your product, event, etc. In the end it is about being a good citizen of the community not a bad case of "write about my stuff."

Networking and human relationships are still the same, these are simply relatively new tools for those activities. Old school annoying is still, well, annoying! :) I appreciate your stopping by....
