Please don't take this as an attack on you or your blog personally. You make a good point. As a personal brand blogger, you have the liberty to cover whatever you want. Likewise, you have a background in journalism, so I understand your interest in the topic. That said, are you going to tell me that there was no intention on your part to leverage the search traffic? I think that the real sin rides with Mashable here. Mashable has branded it self as a go-to resource for all things social media. While they seem to have found a way to tie in their content approach with the natural disaster, my gut is that they simple are focused on providing good traffic numbers to their advertisers. To me, that's a cheap sell out. PS. I still like your blog and what you right about. Sometimes though, the pot needs stirred and things need discussed in the open. Cheers and thanks to you for being willing to discuss the issue... :) @forrest – I’m glad you responded. Please don’t take this as an attack on you or your blog personally. You make a good point.
