I love your blog. And if blogging in english brought you tio write here, it's already a good thing. I don't care about ranking, this is just a personal blog,.

That made me wonder many times why... And I arrived to some conclusions: - Italians (us) are always concerned about who is the best, who has more hits, who's on top of blogbabel: sad... In the rest of the word they care much less about all this futile things... - We feel more secure in a little environment: the rest of the world is too big... - We don't have enough networking skills to survive out there, in English, speaking to an immense number of people... Some Italian blogger that I knew in person don't even have enough networking skills to survive far from a computer screen... I don't think is so bad to be on the same list as India and Korea: generally speaking, German and French blogs are quite uninteresting... I think in Italy there is too much ostentation about anything... Many times I felt other "normal" bloggers looking at me as if I was an alien from outer space, just because I blog about food... But I don't know how many "normal" bloggers can say they found a job thanks to their blog as I did... I've never felt this arrogance and envy outside Italy... Sorry, this is not a comment, it's a post!!! Maybe I'll copy it on my blog!!! :-) I began to blog in January 2006, and switched to English around one year ago, and I was (and still am) one of the few Italian food bloggers that took this kind of decision.

I bet they'd love to come. It'll be a great chance for Italy to upgrade its perception among a selected range of opinion-makers, of enormous influence. Let's not undertake our possibilities as Italians, once again! (And bravo Marco for the upfront new style of your blog, keep it up this way!) Marco, Paolo, let’s get Winer and Scoble in Italy.
