In spirit, I agree–spread your knowledge, far and wide.
But making your voice heard and stand out from the crowd is no simple feat: we don't all have the luxury of Twitter following, a much subscribed RSS feed, a prominent domain name to spread the fruits of our hard work.
The network effects that benefit early influencers are difficult to pierce, I find.
