Rich Skrenta from Topix.net moved into “his own digs” at Skrenta.net. In his 5 things tag post he mentions this:

…hmmm, too much I- me- my- in this post…it will never make it past the Topix narcissism filter.

I actually never considered the existence of a narcissism filter, interesting and something to consider.

You might also want to read his post on DMOZ and the debacle going on over there. Pretty relevant since he’s the guy who started the whole thing.

   Yes indeed, I have been using the word I to much and if I was looking to develop a seo news type site I would have to stop using I.

   Another thing one might want to consider is the natural instinct to get bored with people who talk about themselves too much.

   Talking about “you” is also more authoritative if you are into the “Top 10 ten ways…” thing.

   Your friend,

   I
