Wired has created an interactive diagram of what happens behind the scenes when you publish a blog post.
“You have a blog. You compose a new post. You click Publish and lean back to admire your work. Imperceptibly and all but instantaneously, your post slips into a vast and recursive network of software agents, where it is crawled, indexed, mined, scraped, republished, and propagated throughout the Web. Within minutes, if you’ve written about a timely and noteworthy topic, a small army of bots will get the word out to anyone remotely interested, from fellow bloggers to corporate marketers”.

Hi, Triangular — Hm… the diagram… inspiring? or overwhelming?? Hey, thanks so much for your post about my comics, on January 14. FYI, I’ve just posted an excerpt from LUST, my new book that you mentioned, and turned the endpages into downloadable wallpaper in a bunch of sizes — they’re on my blog: http://www.ellenforney.com/blog/category/lustlab-ad-of-the-week/ Regardless, thanks so much for your interest in my work! I appreciate it tons.
