If we're credited properly, we can get to be known for the things we say and the way we say them, which should increase the visitors to our twitter stream and/or blogs. Since 'everyman' is getting the chance to speak, it is becoming important to be someone worth being heard. Fame turns into followers, and that can provide interesting opportunities, or at very least, blog page views ... which, I've heard, can turn a bit of profit if done right. It does take some effort though, but if it results in a roundabout sort of compensation for getting one's brilliant thoughts publicized, it's probably worth it. (I haven't started doing this yet, myself, but I'm thoroughly convinced that I will offer a bit of advertising on my blog someday soon!)
