  • 30 Percent of U.S. Online Audience Visited Blogs

    The report, which was sponsored in part by Six Apart and Gawker Media, found that nearly 50 million Americans, or about 30 percent of the total U.S. Internet population, visited blogs in Q1 2005. This represents an increase of 45 percent compared to Q1 2004. And I’m guessing that this is folks that knew that […]

  • Chicago Tribune: Business Blogging Might Not Work

    File under ‘shocker of shockers’: Don’t do it just because everyone else is. Do it because you have an objective in mind. Other discoveries: Be sure you don’t blog trade secrets Make sure your blog has an objective Don’t ogle co-workers or students Don’t get too personal At least they didn’t say What about the […]

  • Carnival of the Capitalists

    I had never really understood Carnival of the Capitalists. The home page of it doesn’t do a very good job of explaining exactly what is going on – it is written for submitters – not readers.

  • Business 2.0 Poo-Poos Podcasters

    Podcasting’s wildcatting era is over before it ever really began. An unknown number of those Apple-made microstars will convince themselves that they hold a first-mover advantage in an untapped medium and that there is at least a modest living to be made from a popular weekly podcast that maybe, just maybe, could become a bona […]

  • Podcast Tips

    MarketingSherpa interviews podcaster David Lawrence. He boils up some quick tips: Keep it short. Don’t be cute. Get training. I got one more: Don’t talk about podcasting. Too many podcasts talk about podcasting instead of actual niched content. But then again I’m blogging this on a blog about blogs.
