The picture above is of my paternal grandfather and grandmother. How this picture from the first part of the 20th century belongs in such a 21st century context as a blog about business and blogging is simply this: I am inspired by their strength […]
Some business owners I talk to have the idea that a blog has to be very personal. That’s an impression easily formed, given how blogs have evolved, the way they are often explained in the mainstream media, and the fact that even today, when there are many different types of blogs, a Google search can come up […]

For anyone interested in how the blogosphere is developing beyond (as well as in) the USA, there is a new, freely downloadable and thoroughly absorbing report out, courtesy of Edelman, A Corporate Guide to the Global Blogosphere.
