Because there’s nothing smarter than a dumb ant.

Just as ants leave pheromone trails so other ants in the colony can recognize food sources, writers online leave trails in the forms of posts, comments, trackbacks, and pings so other writers can recognize promising leads, paths to travel, and places to avoid. We writers, the ants of the internet, follow our self interests by seeking writing paths to follow or blaze, but take us all together and patterns of swarms, colonies, and new cities begin to emerge . . . .
