Blog Manifesto Feedback

I want to thank the folks especially Sally H. behind ChangeThis for accepting and publishing It’s a Big Blog World Out There: Five Quick Tips to Building a Better Blog. I’ve been nervous about its release because I feared the manifesto was too simple, not forward-thinking, and not a true manifesto — three areas that aren’t my forte (and that’s pronounced “fort” not “fort-ay.” I’m guilty of using the latter until I read an article that straightened me out).

I appreciate those who took time to provide positive feedback. Thanks to these emails, I can relax. Of course, now I feel the pressure of writing high quality entries in this blog every time.

Funny, I was working on the PowerPoint feature when I came across this old post on corporate blogging from 2004 especially the following:

Corporate blogging is going to grow and become as commonplace as having Word and PowerPoint loaded on our PCs. They might not be called blogs, but the concept is similar and they will be used for:

* brainstorming
* creating, editing, and approving docs
* status reports / updates
* doc library
* staying connected with customers / clients
* marketing and news updates to public

I was surprised by my own post as it predicted how blogs would become an integrated part of business.
