Do you Digg this site?

Can a blog post be a hit? Yes it can.
For more than a year now, I’ve been doing quite a bit more than preaching the gospel of house concerts. To be sure, the spread of house concert experiences and opportunities is an important thing. But the quality of these events and experiences is also at the heart of concertsinyourhome.com, and this blog.
I’m doing my best to share the best of what’s going on in this community - great experiences, lessons learned, and memorable performers, presenters and shows.
Today I’m asking you to do the same.
Think of this blog as kindling, or a tall stalk of dandelion, both just waiting for the wind to help it burn what isn’t alive anymore, and to scatter new seeds in the ripe new earth.
Here’s what you can do:
At the bottom of every post on this blog there is a “share this” button, that allows you email, bookmark, or promote what you see on what they call “social bookmarking sites.”
For any post that strikes a chord with you, please help spread the word. For now, here are three stories I’d suggest:
What do artists get paid?
Revealing house concert survey?
House Concerts article in Present Magazine
If you aren’t familiar with social bookmarking sites like Digg or Stumbleupon, it’s a tool for you to give a “thumbs up” on an article. Just register with any one of these sites (it’s quick and easy) and you help shape which stories make it to the top of the global internet heap.
It only takes a few dozen people to get the ball rolling, and for a story to start zooming up the charts.
House concerts are the past, present, and glorious future of live music. That budding field of house concerts can bloom next year, or tomorrow. It’s up to you.
