You are exactly right. Some do not agree with me, which is okay, but the mere fact that I am having this conversation about blogging with you and Mike clearly illustrates that blogging is EVERYONE’s BUSINESS. Not just the A-listers, but me too. Without me and other people, perhaps the blogosphere would not be complete. Although I have a lot of respect for A-listers, I do not believe that they should control the blogosphere.

Thank you for your comments! Hope to hear from you again!
-Chris

I can see how some people might not think about blogging in the same way you do, but that’s probably your point – that blogging as a culture unto itself demands freedom to say as one pleases, so why the fuss over whether all blogging should be controlled by a handful of A-listers.

I agree. Blogging is just a matter of talking about something you are passionate about and having others agree/disagree with you. There is really no secret to blogging, but letting all your thoughts out.

Good comments!
Chris

Thank you for the comment in my blog, and for this post. I’m new to this whole world, and think it is important for any PR person who wants to remain current (and thereby valuable) to know how to use this medium effectively. What I don’t buy is “blogging experts.” Of course, building a readership takes time. Appropriately engaging in conversation relevant to a client strategy takes practice. It takes dedication and sticking to a few best practices. But frankly, those best practices can be imparted during an hour-long meeting, no matter if you’re a PR rookie or an establish player. If engaing the blogosphere can be justified in an overall strategy, then fire away. If not, save the new toy for a client who needs it.
