Bill dewitt is an instructor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is the author of the books, The New Rules of Eating, A New Kind of Eating, and The Way of the Table.
A while back, dewitt’s blog post about how to cook the perfect hamburger was one of the most popular posts on the internet. You can read all about his experience cooking the hamburger here. This particular post attracted so much traffic that it made him a little uncomfortable. But then someone posted a link to his blog. Suddenly, his blog was the hottest thing on the internet. It was like the whole internet was talking about Bill DeWitt and his blog post.
The link to his blog was actually a mistake. DeWitt wasn’t the first person to post a link to an article on his blog. But he was the first person to post a link to a blog post about his own blog. So he’s a very smart guy. DeWitt’s mistake was posting a link to his own blog post and making it seem like he was talking about his own blog post.
Its a very common mistake to post a link to another person’s blog post. And it can seriously backfire and turn the internet back on the person who linked to it. The internet has become so very opinionated that linking to a post by another person is akin to having a blog post about your own blog.
The general rule for commenting on other peoples blogs is to give them a link. But sometimes that leads to bad behavior. A user of the internet is basically a link-hungry, hyper-social, and opinionated human being. And no matter how many links he posts, the internet is still going to feel like a real place. And that’s a good thing.

The first step towards self-awareness is realizing that the internet isn’t a real place. It’s mostly just internet. After that it’s pretty easy to figure out why commenting on other peoples’ blogs makes you feel like a real place. One thing you’re probably thinking about right now is the fact that it’s nice to have links to other people. I get the urge to link back to people I like and find useful.
It is. But you also have to realize that the internet isnt a real place because the internet isnt real. Because the internet is just a medium for you to post your thoughts and feelings to (which is what your email list is for), and because you arent actually posting on the internet (unless you have a blog, of course). Its really only a way to post something to the internet.
