Rebecca Blood, author of "The Weblog Handbook," is a prominent blogger and has a lot to say about "how to" blog. But, in her recent book, she answers the question "Why a Weblog?" Yet, I am still curious why the MySpace generation has not yet adapted to a business blog. I would think it would […]

How To Become A Successful Blogger
I recently wrote about how to become a successful intern, since I am an INROADS intern, but Robyn Tippins thought it would be a good idea to write about being a successful blogger. I will give this my best shot, but these are characteristics that I currently working towards since they seem to be prominent in most […]
“Blogging is ONLY for the ELITE (A-listers)” …NOT quite
This seems to be a hot topic as of late and I can definately see why. The battle is simply between those who think blogging is only for the elite and blogging is for everyone to engage in the conversation. Some strongly believe that the elite bloggers who have all the right things to say […]
Blogs are really a REALITY CHECK for Corporations
I don't know about you, but when I hear someone talk about how much money corporations are making, I tend to think of the agressive, fast talker agency that is trying desparately to get $$ from you. They conceivable make a product/service sound the BEST, when sometimes thats not the case. Do not get me […]
Second Life Podcast with Me (Chris), Jeremiah, and Robert Scoble
Lately, I have been talking a little bit about Second Life and if you remember I mentioned that Second Life was AWESOME!. Others agree with me including Jeremiah Owyang and Robert Scoble. Second Life is a surreal experience. Nothing like you have experienced before. WHY? B/c it is REAL! In fact, there are several business […]
Facebook moving to the Business-opshere!
Inside Facebook announced today that they will dive into the corporate world and offer their services first to a select few companies, then they will slowly offer it to the world. However, facebook's strategy is simple: WOM or viral marketing. Just as they launched the college facebook to Harvard first, then to Stanford…little by little […]
What’s all this talk about “Second Life”?
I have been roaming around second life for a while now, thanks to Jeremiah Owyang for the tour, and I have enjoyed it so far. To the left is a picture taken directly from Second Life. Look at the detail…it looks quite real. Perhaps this is what all the hype is about! One word to […]
Why blogs are like diaries, NOT books
I have been thinking a lot about if blogs should be used to make money or not. Now, before I continue, I know that many people may have blogs and indirectly making money. This is fine, but I have a problem with those who are running a blog, have Google Ads, and using their blog […]
Your Guide to a Well Balanced Blog: Shish Kabob
Jeremiah Owyang posted a rather unique entry on his blog discussing how writing in the style of a shish kabob provides a service to readers. Ah ha! Finally something I can relate too…yet another food analogy. Throughout grade school I remember always being taught the "hamburger" essay. You have the buns (opening and closing paragraphs), […]
Blogging for the Future – Are you “Wiifme”?
There has been some talk about the MySpace generation someday moving on to the professional blogosphere once they “graduate” and enter the corporate world. However, instead of arguing whether or not this will happen, I would rather talk about the benefits of blogging for the new interns and/or new hires entering the workforce. Wiifme… “What’s […]
