When ideas resonate, and as you have mentioned, people can relate to what you are writing, they are motivated to make the ideas spread among more like-minded people. More often than not, they might go the extra mile to actively 'share' and popularize your post. And behind the scenes, all these shares fall into a tree structure with rapidly multiplying leaves. We can think of this as a ripple effect, which starts with a tiny stone at the middle of an ocean and then spreads to all corners. I have read both the posts you mention here (FOB to ABCD, and Portugal), and I cannot help but say that I love your style of writing. However, the one I enjoyed the most was the one about DurgaPuja, "Kawta jama holo?"<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594518798446327782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14545899.post-34461724757889262712011-12-13T18:50:58.952-08:002011-12-13T18:50:58.952-08:00I stumbled across here because of the Amreekandesi...I stumbled across here because of the Amreekandesi post and found your blog interesting. Wrt that post, I'm guessing what made it so popular was that someone had posted it to some popular information/news aggregation and sharing websites. That was how I found the article. That helped catching eyeballs (critical mass). Once you've managed to get them to see something on which they have a (strong) opinion, they will probably share it, which results in the article going "viral". <br />And that was just one plausible hypothesis.Sivaramakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664378499255750089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14545899.post-37260055979205182632011-12-13T17:02:16.051-08:002011-12-13T17:02:16.051-08:00I like the facebook 'like' badge with '...I like the facebook 'like' badge with '42 people like this' message on top of your every post.

Congrats on the success of your post...Hi Sunshine,<br /><br />Congrats on the success of your post, and it definitely resonated with my thoughts, feelings of being in an alienated country.<br /><br />And regarding your theories of post gaining wide readership, I think the Platform matters, being available to more readers via widely publicized blogs like Amreekan Desi, definitely improves the chances of post being a success.<br /><br />Keep writing and enthrall us readers with your thoughts!!<br /><br />Amen!!Spiritual_Flamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03219112934537304072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14545899.post-27628165940641012192011-12-13T14:10:44.404-08:002011-12-13T14:10:44.404-08:00Hi Sunshine,

Do share your findings in the end.. curious :)theartandcraftgalleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841355525348942885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14545899.post-56553594876546035862011-12-13T05:14:12.236-08:002011-12-13T05:14:12.236-08:00I think the 'platform' in this case made a...I think the 'platform' in this case made a huge difference. Not only AD has a huge following but also has the right demographic for the kind of post you wrote. It resonated with the readers. I also like the 'critical mass' theory, had never thought of it before, but it does make sense.<br />Also, for your Portugal post, I imagine you probably had the right SEO which made it come up on a lot of searches.<br />But none of these factors would matter if your content didn't deliver, which it so beautifully does. So you ought to be proud!!Neelam Kamdar Bhamanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055324248876014643noreply@blogger.com
