blog arguments: Israel and Scoble on a pink fluffy cloud ?
this is supposed to be a very objective post. I read a post at gapingvoid.com that Scoble and Israel ( authors with the book naked conversations) had a lunch meeting with Werner Vogels of Amazon.com . Werner is saying that the arguments and answers that he got from these blogging angels weren’t good enough. Im puzzled that Amazon is not more in touch with the technology and the importance of blogging – but anyway :
sometimes, I think that blogging should get down of it’s high horse. I mean – Blogging is great, and I love it. But I want to hear the nasty things that blogging has done to companies and people, and learn from it. I want to have solid proof arguments. I want to hear from Israel and Scoble how they are going to approach this ?
I think the highest that blogging can go for a company, is to be evaluated as any other communication tool. it’s not mainstream yet. It’s getting there, but are we prepared for it ? or are we too cool to care ?
When I do speeches – people has a lot of questions and I have answers to them such as ” openess, communication, touch-base with customers, etc etc ( you know the works and get the picture)..
still when I gave a talk at Denmarks Design School, these upcoming cool designers where puzzled how on earth they could be sure, that when they started blogging their ideas and processes and design – that people wouldn’t steal them ?. To some extend, I get their point. but wouldn’t it be a very dull world if all you could find in the blogosphere were selfpromoting asses and no inspiration ?
