that’s the whole point of blogging and social media really, having a discussion with someone rather than just promoting your own content.

Comment on Latest blog statistics - majority of blogs are now corporate by Paul Roberts

hi Daryl
That is the case with me. But the social web is a mixed bag. Blogging is where I post stuff about my work. Facebook is a combination of work and pleasure. Twitter is a lifestream of both. Web forums are work. Twine is work. Friendfeed is a mixture. LinkedIn strictly professional.

My judgement is that most people lack confidence in written communication to participate in blogging or web discussion forums. That’s not to say that don’t read blogs. Bloggers are the new influencers.

Comment on Just why are you getting into corporate blogging? by Scott Hepburn

It’s funny which blog posts strike a nerve with readers. I never imagined this one would evoke much response, but it’s generated a wide range of feedback. Go figure!

I’m not against blogging, per se. Rather, I meant for this to be a cautionary tale for corporate bloggers. There are plenty of arguments for greater use of company blogs…I just wanted to point out some of the roadbumps you might encounter.

Thanks for noticing my post and offering your thoughts, Daryl. Always good to spark a conversation!

Daryl -

Thanks for the mention. If we only took a bit more time to think about our motivations for advocating adoption of a particular technology, we’d most likely have fewer tech flops.

Wordpress is a great blogging platform and getting it search engine optimized really isn’t a hard task. Using proper permalinks and robots.txt file to prevent duplicate content and a few other methods can really make a difference. The All in One SEO plugin is really the best bet.
