In times when blogging more and more seems to have become a media outlet(1), it always is nice to see what drove both the internet and blogging initially. Duncan Riley‘s words hit home for everyone who was already there years ago and did not just jump on the _online bandwagon_ in the last years(2):

it was a scenario description, but I take your point, getting to even a couple of thousand a month is hard going. If you want to ping me on email duncan at nichenet.com.au I’d be happy to take a look at what you’re currently doing and share some personalized advice if you like. Always happy to help. [Emphasis mine]
Yes, that is right. Initially the internet was built upon helping each other. Whether it was by sharing links to awesome sites/content or by sharing tips and tricks.
And I remember plenty of moments when I hit up people like Duncan(3) or Matt Craven and if they were online, within minutes, you’d have a Skype(4) session with them.
Sometimes I wish the _next big thing_ would start and it would be a mix of the _old garde_ again. Back to the old style, the time when everyone helped each other out.
Hats off Duncan for still keeping up the old spirit!
