Business Blogging
« Previous EntriesOne By One Media is a sponsor of Blog Business Summit 07
Monday, August 20th, 2007If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know how much I love Blog Business Summit. I’ve been to all of them thus far–Seattle (the first), San Francisco (the second), Seattle (the third)–but I’m going to miss the forth, Chicago. Which is sad, but well I have a conflict, more on that later. [...]

Debbie Weil asks for comments on alliconnect, and gets thrashed for it
Thursday, July 12th, 2007 My friend and bloggy-buddy Debbie Weil has started a blogosphere kerfuffle over her request via e-mail and blog post to leave a comment on GSK’s alliblog. Folks like David Murray and Allan Jenkins have been roasting Debbie over the coals and Lee Hopkins had this to say:
As for me, I am stunned that a leading proponent of [...]

We are excited to announce our very cool affiliate program is ready for your blog! Not only will the affiliate program drive traffic to your individual listing at ReviewMe which will encourage [...]
Scoble put one of my posts on his shared items–implications for marketing and metrics
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007Recently I wrote about why newspapers don't (and should) own local news, Scoble included it on his shared items in Google Reader (feed … you should subscribe to it really). Okay this is great, right? Right. The “Scoble effect” is well known if he links to you, but it's not as well known what happens [...]
Social Media, the Fortune 500, and the future
Saturday, January 13th, 2007As the new year begins, social media is beginning to really get hot. Jeremiah talks about the Fortune 500 and their adoption rate. Michael Gartenberg gives some excellent advice on corporate blogging (it all sounds familiar, but hey it's all good stuff)
Josh with usual wisdom, though he seems to be off Skype today, points [...]
FeedBurner launches integrated site stats via BlogBeat
Thursday, January 4th, 2007Since the Pay-Per-Post—Performancing announcement and my move to use the pre-launch FB stats, I've been waiting to give my review of the service. Well Rick Klau pinged me this morning to let me know that the teasing is over, and the BlogBeat-powered stats are now available for everyone!
Before I get into my review of the [...]
So, blogging will peak next year? Yeah, don't think so
Thursday, December 14th, 2006Gartner Group says that 2007 will be the year when blogging will peak … then of course it would stand to reason that it will plateau or taper off.
The reason: Most people who would ever dabble with Web journals already have. Those who love it are committed to keeping it up, while others have gotten [...]
Learning some tricks of the trade, great blogging tips (and mistakes to avoid)
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006There are so many posts on how to blog better and what mistakes to avoid. Yes, most of them say the same things over and over again (which is good, actually—it means I think we've got the basics down pretty well). Anyway, WebProNews has a nice list of what I consider to be important tips, [...]
Wordpress/Automattic blog police or just protecting their brand?
Monday, November 13th, 2006Dave Taylor, a guy who is a friend and I listen to closely when he speaks, wrote a thought-provoking post about a problem with Wordpress.com shutting down blogs who violate their terms of service (TOS). Dave calls them out and hangs the label "blog police" on them. I think while Dave has a point, Wordpress [...]
Quoted in the NYT … w00t!
Thursday, September 28th, 2006Okay, just a moment to revel in this for a moment. Chris Pirillo and I were mentioned (and I was quoted) in the NYT yesterday. Minor bit, they didn't interview me, just caught something Chris quoted from one of my posts. Which goes to show … you never know who is going to find something [...]

Why try b5? Well, I've been doing it for a few months now and first they are a great group of people. Second they [...]
Debbie's book hits the shelves! The Corporate Blogging Book
Friday, August 4th, 2006I'm a little late to the party on this one. Yesterday was the official publication date for Debbie's book, but as I was still dealing with getting my machine back up to snuff, I didn't get many posts done yesterday. Luckily Lee, Stephan, and Des got some posts out so I didn't feel too bad [...]
Don't be hard on Debbie, she didn't mean it like that.
Friday, May 19th, 2006Somehow I don't think Debbie intended to start an international firestorm when she came to support me at my Mesh Blogging 101 workshop. She posted right away and mentioned that she was surprised some of the questions, that they were similar to the questions we fielded a couple years ago.
I saw that she posted and [...]
