Blogging is a Brave New World

There was a time when old men, punk kids and middle-aged housewives had nothing in common. Things have changed. Through the art of blogging, we have, for probably the first time in history, dropped the barriers. It’s a good thing. Case in point are two absolutely unrelated blogs, probably neither in contact with each other today. Stripped down, however, each said the same thing. Each blogger spoke to the positive nature of our community. Disclaimer: I have no idea if either (or both) is an old man, a punk kid or a middle-aged housewife. Mike Sansome, ConverStations: “As this thought relates to businesses who blog (rather than blogs as a business), we're searching for a weighted measuring stick. Something we can use as a barometer that might address strengths and weaknesses in our blogging practice.” TechZ, TechzOnline: “I’ve noticed this everywhere. Blogging creates Positive energy or better yet, it charges bloggers. It charges them to make changes in their way of thinking, their behavior, and more often than not for the better.” Mike: “I've been thinking a lot lately about how we can measure blog efforts for our customers.” TechZ: “Collaboration between people and companies, entrepreneurs finding a new medium, it’s a driving force in a crowded industry, and it’s done well for itself.” Mike: “If there's a tool or conversation about this, let me know. If not, let's start one.” TechZ: “I posted this because I saw how much of a positive tone there was to blogs, and felt I had to say something. Feel free to add your own views.”
