Darren Rowse the Progblogger wrote a interesting post about luck.  How are you lucky to be blogger?  What were the things that made you stand out as a successful blogger compared to others in the blogsphere?  For Darren, it came down to 4 lucky timings

• Timing – I came across blogging at an ideal time when the blogosphere was young, uncluttered and still forming.
• People – I kept ‘bumping into’ people who were willing to collaborate and who had skill sets that complemented my own so well.
• Coincidence
  - Time after time I’ve found myself stumbling upon products and
  services that just seem to ‘fit’ with where my business is at – that
  take things to the next level
• Chance Encounters
  - I just happen to have responded to the right email or comment in the
  right way or time that leads to profitable relationships.
