MICE-Contact International Launches a New Blog - I Think

Earlier this year I gave a presentation on blogging to a national conference of meeting professionals.  There was a lot of interest on the day but I haven’t seen much sign since of people in the industry getting seriously into business blogging, at least from the people who were at that conference.
So my curiosity was […]

No Date Yet for Gnomedex 7.0

As I can’t figure out how to provide a feed for updates to the blogging events listing page (a static page, not a blog post as such), I’ve undertaken at Martin Neumann’s suggestion to include a post here when I add an event or otherwise update the page significantly. 
Even though there is no date yet for 2007’s […]

Blogging as Conversation

It’s totally subjective, but my impression is that, more often than not when someone is asked to explain what a blog is they do so in terms of a blog being an online diary or journal. Which it is, at least in terms of the basic technology and structure. The corollary is that with a […]

New Page for Blogging Events

There may be a listing somewhere of conferences and other events about blogging or with a significant component of their program about blogging and if there is one I’d like to know about it.
Searching for information about blogging events has proven a bit of a time-consumer: plenty of links to past events, not many to […]

1. Blogging will Peak in 2007, Settle and Start to Mature
2. The Rise of the Group Blog
3. Blogging Metrics will be a Big Talking Point and Advances Will be Made
4. […]

BlogHer Business in New York City

Great to see the BlogHer brand doing a business-focused event in New York City, March 22-23 next year.
I have great respect for the women who first came up with the idea of BlogHer, then translated it into what has to be one of the most dynamic events on the annual blogging events calendar. What’s that saying, […]

Coporate Blogging Guidelines

Ed Yourdon has done some quick googling and drawn up a handy list of “Sample Corporate Blogging Policies”   (via Justin Patten’s blog , and thanks to Noric for the heads up).

IBM’s Blogging Guidelines from May 2005
Sun Microsystem’s Blogging Policy which links to the company’s Blogging Guidelines (date not known) - interesting, succinct, unambiguous.
Yahoo!’s Personal Blog Guidelines […]

A Short Post About This Blog

In my interview last week with Debbie Weil on The Corporate Blogging Show, Debbie expressed some interest, and curiosity, in my statement that this blog is about “the bloggging of business” - as distinct from “the business of blogging”. I’ve posted about that.
Today I was asked to describe in ten words or less, what this […]

The Blogging of Business

Being interviewed yesterday by Debbie Weil on The Corporate Blogging Show was fun. It was also mentally stimulating for me, as I had anticipated it would be.
Early in the interview, Debbie asked me about this Business and Blogging blog, its focus, the intended audience . I said my idea in setting up this blog was to focus on what I call ”the […]
