Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:28:36 -0000

10 Reasons Every Freelance Writer Should Have a Blog « WordCount/by Michelle Vranizan Rafter

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:34:33 -0000

Comments:

Michelle has just started blogging fairly recently but she's been writing for a while, which explains why she's already turning out great content. I think anyone who produces content professionally can apply what Michelle has to say. Blog, Vlog or Podcast.

"All of this is a round about way of saying, if you’re a writer, you need to write, and one of the best ways to practice is a blog. If you blog, it gets you into the habit of writing often. It’s like playing the piano. The more you practice, the faster you get better. The more you write, the faster you get better."

Global Neighbourhoods: My Living Room Policy--or why I banned Bob

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:26:43 -0000

Comments:

When trying to explain to a manager/CEO/owner what value a blog will have to their business the question about negative commenter's always (and I do mean always) comes up. Shel's 'Living Room' rule is an easy to understand rule that makes sense and, for me at least, has always eased the manager/CEO/owner's mind allowing us to move on to more important topics.

Global Neighbourhoods: Do video bloggers suck?

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 07:06:17 -0000

Comments:

I think this will be an interesting trend to watch. I've already seen multiple 'A listers' start video blogs (vlogs ?). The trend a little over a year ago was for bloggers to start podcasts, now video seems to be taking off.

The only problem I have with video is that it's too slow. I can scan a blog a lot faster than I can watch someone talk.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

I, for one, think that online video blogging is just now getting started and the possibilities for the bloggers turning into video casters are north of huge.
