Spreading the Good Word

I have a Google Alert set up to notify me when Google finds new news about Booster Gold. If I think what Google tells me is noteworthy, I pass it along here in the Boosterrific Blog. However, among the most common alerts are social media posts along the lines of "I want to read more about Booster Gold, where should I start?" And that bothers me a little.

My first impulse when seeing these is to go tell that person about Boosterrific Dot Com. The Boosterrific Database contains all Booster Gold comic book adventures with a rating system that I think makes better books easy to identify, and I have many posts justifying my criteria for "The 12 Best Booster Gold Comics." Sure, my lists are subjective, but aren't everyone's? If nothing else, they make a pretty good introductory guide for interested readers.

Yet by nature I'm a recluse, not a salesman. I don't really want to be active on most social media, so I'm easily discouraged by sites like Reddit actively discouraging such egregious self-promotion. And I justify my anti-social behavior by telling myself that if someone was really interested in Booster Gold, there are plenty of websites with helpful information, including Wikipedia and Fandom, which are at the top of any Google Search for "Booster Gold." Boosterrific.com might not appear until the second page of links, but it really isn't so hard to find. I mean, if you're reading this, you found it.

So maybe what really bothers me is that Boosterrific.com isn't easier to find. Why should anyone seeking advice about Booster Gold comic books have to struggle to arrive here? Is it hubris on my part to think that Boosterrific.com is the best place for could-be Booster Gold fans to begin their journey? Could I be doing something more to tell people about Booster Gold? If so, what?

I can only do what I can do, but maybe I can do more than I thought I could. I just want the whole world to know...
