I judge blogs by the articles, blogs, and sites they link to. I may be enjoying the content but if you link to something inappropriate, it makes me wonder. Also makes me less likely to bookmark or return. Could this create an echo chamber effect? Probably but at least made a point of basing my decision on the information presented.
To this point, I know that often my reference links are to Wikipedia articles. Many people don't like the monopoly that Wikipedia has on information. These same people are probably upset with Google and therefore should be upset with this blog being hosted by Google via their Blogger service. Personally, I agree with the mission statement / ideal behind Wikipedia and have no problem supporting it. My links to those Wikipedia articles are just a reference. If someone wants to learn more... well, that's what search engines, like Google, are for.
Also, I've been listening to a lot of Husker Du. Zen Arcade is as good as they say.
