It appears that the only way to get hits is not to use “overblown rhetoric and angry titles” like “Fucking Sociologists!” Another way to do it is to get Belle to like your post enough to cross-post in on both Law and Letters and scatterplot. Witness the awesome power of Belle:

A network analysis, even old school with just stars and isolates, would be fascinating on all of our stats. But, I think we all know who the big rollers are in the sociological bloggy-type world.

Aw, thanks, but it’s not like I’m Jeremy “Fucking” Freese. I think I linked to Jeremy a couple of times and he found my blog, which before the warm fuzzy embrace of the socioblogopia, was incredibly niche within the legal blogosphere with a few literary simpaticos. So I am happy to discover and promote new blogs!

Incidentally, “fucking sociologists” is such a double entendre, and I would not usually say “fucking” in an insulting way w/r/t sociologists, so I’m just like “wow, sociologists are wilder than I thought” when I read that incendiary title.

Well, posting on scatterplot makes you Belle “Fucking” Lettre… although that doesn’t work as well without the alliteration… Hmm.

Mad Slave consistently has great posts, when he posts. It’s interesting, cause while he can be categorized as a sociologist, he hasn’t fully accepted being a sociologist. So, he does often question what the use sociology is. I enjoy it, as someone who is most staunchly a sociologist.

And before Scatterplot, it was merely the Freese Effect. We should rename it the Scatterplot Effect or something.
