Greg Ciotti is new to the blogosphere as a guy who blogs about blogging. But he's been around longer than I realized. When I discovered Greg's blog I was intrigued to learn that most of his blogging success had not come from Sparring Mind, but from a blog that was about electronic music.  I've found his blog to be one of the most valuable resources in my RSS reader since I started reading it.
