Joey’s Crappy Day

If you ever wanted to know why the world wide web is called a web, check out this scenario. I got an email from an anonymous person yesterday telling me that they had found my website through “the MSN lottery story.” She said she really enjoyed one of the articles on my site (link probably not safe for work).

I appreciated the feedback and wrote her back asking what this MSN lottery story thing was. It turns out that there is a money blog at MSN and that blogger wrote about another blog that I regularly read and occasionally comment on called All Financial Matters. JLP at AFM had written a post about winning the lottery and asked his readers what they would do. I posted a comment stating what I’d do. In the comment was a link to my website.

So when Karen at MSN wrote about the post she mentioned my comment and linked to me. That means that I am now blogging about a blog post that was blogging about a blog post. What a twisted web we weave. Now I just need someone else to blog about this post and then someone to blog about that post ad infinitum.
