You can only be influential if you blog here...
That’s basically what they’re saying in their mission statement:
"This website has been setup by a dedicated group of IT professionals that are passionate about technology and the ITPro community. We felt that there needed to be a single location for blogs for people that we feel have been influential in the ITPro community for a variety of reasons. The people blogging on this site are people that we ourselves look up to and deeply respect. We're sure that you'll get great value from the blog contributions that they make here - both at a technical level and often a personal level.We've invited a select few individuals to be part of this experience.
Check out our first invitee and stay tuned for more."

So far there’s one blog and the site has been live since August 2006. Methinks they forgot?
