Give the paranoids their due. The overwhelming majority of the information the world spews out every day is digital -- photos from camera phones, PowerPoint presentations, government filings, billions and billions of e-mails, even digital phone messages. With a couple of clicks, every one of these items can be broadcast into the blogosphere by anyone with an Internet hookup -- or even a cell phone. If it's scandalous, a poisonous e-mail from a CEO, for example, or torture pictures from a prison camp, others link to it in a flash. And here's the killer: Blog posts linger on the Web forever.

First, a few numbers. There are some 9 million blogs out there, with 40,000 new ones popping up each day. Some discuss poetry, others constitutional law. And, yes, many are plain silly. "Mommy tells me it may rain today. Oh Yucky Dee Doo," reads one April Posting. Let's assume that 99.9% are equally off point. So what? That leaves some 40 new ones every day that could be talking about your business, engaging your employees, or leaking those merger discussions you thought were hush-hush.

How does business change when everyone is a potential publisher? A vast new stretch of the information world opens up. For now, it's a digital hinterland. The laws and norms covering fairness, advertising, and libel? They don't exist, not yet anyway. But one thing is clear: Companies over the past few centuries have gotten used to shaping their message. Now they're losing control of it.

Still, blogs could end up providing the perfect response to mass media's core concern: the splintering of its audience. Advertisers desperate to reach us need to tap niches (because we get together only once a year to watch the Super Bowl). By piggybacking on blogs, they can start working that vast blogocafé, table by table. Smart ones will get feedback, links to individuals -- and their friends. That's every marketer's dream.

Blogs Will Change Your Business Look past the yakkers, hobbyists, and political mobs. Your customers and rivals are figuring blogs out. Our advice: Catch up...or catch you later Monday 9:30 a.m. It's time for a frank talk. And no, it can't wait. We know, we know: Most of you are sick to death of blogs. Don't even want to hear about these millions of online journals that link together into a vast network. And yes, there's plenty out there not to like. Self-obsession, politics of hate, and the same hunger for fame that has people lining up to trade punches on The Jerry Springer Show.

In a Business Week cover story titled “Blogs Will Change Your Business”, writers Stephen Baker and Heather Green start off by addressing that many people, believe it or not, don’t care very much for blogs. One survey found that only 27% of Americans actually take the time to read blogs. Although the blog world may be insignificant, or even non-existent, to some people, blogging is actually becoming more popular than even before. Currently, there are about 9 million blogs on the web, and approximately 40,000 blogs are born each day. Blogs cannot be, and should not be, overlooked. They provide an enormous amount of information that can not only be useful, but can also be entertaining and self indulging. The question is, are blogs of some benefit to companies? The answer is yes. Although most blogs may appear to be silly, and of little use to organizations, there are some blogs that provide companies with information that would have been very difficult, or even impossible, to obtain through conventional methods. For example, blogs can leak information about a competitor’s strategies and future plans. Blogs can provide insights on consumer’s likes and dislikes. Blogs allow a company to learn about unsatisfied and satisfied customers, dissatisfied and satisfied employees, and most importantly, blogs provides a company with an immediate link to global news. Most recently, companies have been using blogger’s space to advertise and reach more individuals in their target markets. Therefore, in order to be an effective competitor in the business world, Baker and Green highly recommend that companies use blogs as a valuable source of information. These sources have the potential to spark new, innovative ideas that can very well lead to huge profits.
