One of the things that stops non-bloggers from blogging is the old “what will I blog about?” chestnut. They’re concerned that they’ll start with a bang and end, a few days later, with a whimper.
While many blogs do end ignomiosuly within days, I can’t help feeling it’s down to motivation rather than not knowing what [...]
Thanks to everyone who came to Munich’s first (world’s first?) BlogFest last night. There was a nice mix of bloggers and would-be bloggers who turned up. And thanks for being prepared to speak in English, for my benefit!
It was really interesting to meet the local talent, exchange ideas and just hang out in the balmy [...]
Loic Le Meur, Six Apart’s top man in Europe, has been trying to find more about the European Blogosphere - which is fiendishly difficult to do, actually.
However, his Wiki makes very interesting reading and starts to shed light in the darkness. As a leading EuroBlogger myself, I’d ask you to check it out and contribute [...]
According to research behemoth, Forrester, 64% of respondents to their recent survey said they are interested in advertising on blogs, 57% through RSS, and 52% on mobile devices, including phones and personal digital assistants.

I thought it would be a great idea to have a BlogFest in Munich - a gathering of bloggers from this fair city.
It’s going to be very informal - no speakers or agenda. All are welcome, but personally, I’d be especially pleased to see people who blog about tech stuff.
If your English is nicht [...]
The BBC has started to do a weekly round up of Blogs - Weblog Watch.
While you can’t possibly ever claim any degree of comprehensiveness with a short weekly column, it is interesting evidence of blogs crossing the chasm to the mainstream.
One of the fascinating elements of watching blogging mature as a channel is observing [...]
I’ve posted a few times about the now infamous case of Kryptonite bike locks - it’s become the classic case study of what happens when you ignore what bloggers are saying. In Kryptonite’s case it’s cost them $12 million so far - and maybe their future.
Now another lock company is suffering a similar fate and [...]
Jeff Jarvis was interviewed by Ernest Miller on Corante last week, about the future of media. It’s interesting as he’s clearly come from “old” media, but has a strong foothold in the “new” one of blogdom.
If I had to summarise the interview, I’d do it thusly; the future is bright, the future is blogging.
Didn’t [...]
