embarassed

I feel so embarrassed that I haven’t been blogging. Today I decided to visit www.bloglines.com only to be shocked to realise that there have been numerous blogs that have been posted that I wasn’t aware off. I applaud people like Celeste and Yoliswa who have kept the blogging fire going! Apparently you two are doing just fine. Wish you the best guys. I don’t know how I managed to convince myself that everyone is in the same world as I. crazy isn’t it? I am definitely changing my wicked ways.

I was reading articles yesterday in the Business Day (19/06/06) and came across an interesting story titled “building the business of blogging.”

What I found interesting about the article is that it suggested that blogging can actually be used by businesses and organisations along their existing websites to add a more personal touch with the various audiences.

“Successful business blogs often review industry specific books and conferences and point out relevant articles and websites. The idea is that this type of service prompts loyalty and brings back readers back to the blog on a regular basis” the article said.

The article also pointed out that not all companies need a blog and for some the time and effort and commitment may not be worth it. So one needs to consider their market and geographical areas.

It got me thinking whether I should be blogging about issues at Nedlac but then our nature of business is such that the issues are so sensitive and no preempting should be done until agreement is reached. Only then can I blog about issues and agreements on some interesting policy matters.

So what do you say guys? Don’t you think it’s about time you suggested blogging for your organisations? Be warned its time consuming though!
