But this shouting should wane as more and more people check you out and are impressed by whatever it is you offer. And then you reach a point where you don't have to shout at all but just focus completely on what it is you do / offer. I certainly think that at a beginning of a project you have to shout a little.

I don't think it is all about attention seeking and spam though. Some bloggers, particularly the newer ones, take inspiration from the established blogs and take pleasure in their ability to link to them, quote them and learn from them. However, I believe that if you write good stuff, people will find it - though you have to be patient and wait for things to gradually grow over time. There are also some really genuine people out there who chase down every link and comment. Early in my blogging career I name checked Technorati founder David Siffry. Within hours he had found my post, left a comment saying that he had enjoyed it and thanked me for writing about him. This was a really nice touch and was one of the things that gave me the inspiration to continue blogging. I still don't know where its all going to end up, but every day I meet new people and learn new things - and as a result of your post here I have now added your blog to my blogroll too! :-) Interesting idea about Attention spamming!
