Keep up the blogging and thanks for the comment! Hi Craig,

I totally agree – we’re only at the beginning of the blogging era – check out http://www.links.net (created in 1994) or http://www.scripting.com (created in 1997) who are supposedly the first ever blogs on the net – scary how far we’ve gone

Yes, blogs can be useful marketing tool for businesses however, think of McDonalds who didn’t allow comments and landed in hot waters…

Keep up the blogging and thanks for the comment!

Much will come down to the quality of the writing and the relationship people have with their audience - nothing's changed there really. But the ease with which blogs work, and the way RSS allows you to hook into a site, are key elements behind the success of blog-style sites. And from a marketing perspective, they allow the smallest of firms to talk to potential clients with such simplicity that a blog could be all that they need.

Consumers telling producers how to do their job via the internet! Anyway, just wanted to share.

Their success must be attributed to their quality and not the internet exposure that they got. Sure it helped them, but its isnt the only reason for their popularity. and to the second question, i blog cause i have too much free time on my hands :P i agree with newmw.

On your questions. First: The succes stories above (especially Arctic Monkeys in ways of marketing) show to me that what seems to matter is the amount (quantity) of people that listen, or view you which makes something good (quality). I don't know if that is a good thing... but it is the key of marketing of course. Although I do find AM a good band :) Second question: I blog because I like to write about things that make me wonder in new media. Keep up the bloggin'!
