Here's an example of a blog post I'd like to see on the Pig blog: Title: LinkedIn Engineering on Apache Pig and Who Viewed my Profile
http://engineering.linkedin.com/hadoop/user-engagement-powered-apache-pig-and-hadoop Summary: This blog post tells the story of how you can use Apache Pig and Hadoop to turn terabytes of data into user engagement. It starts with a question: who viewed my profile <http://www.linkedin.com/wvmx/profile>? The answer, as It turns out, can drive a lot of users to the site. --------- This post is a lot more likely to encourage posts from Linked and others than an anonymize one would. It will also fare better with readers because LinkedIn is a credible shop. It is also more likely to encourage Twitter to blog about Pig so as not to be outdone by LinkedIn.
