Pop quiz: How long does it take for a blogger build a dedicated following? Answer: If you're good at it, just days. I have quickly become a fan of an awesome new blog called 43 Folders that spews out tons of cool tricks, hacks and time savers. The blog launched launched on September 1 and already it generates tons of comments on every post. The site has 315 subscribers on Bloglines alone and, as of this writing, an astounding 534 links from 158 sources, according to Technorati. The 43 Folders blog illustrates just how powerful the blogosphere is for demonstrating thought leadership. Congrats to blogger of the month, Merlin Mann.
