Business Two Zero

I’ve just added Tom Foremski, the former FT reporter and Silicone Valley Watcher, to my favourite blogs list.  For those of us who are using the blogging media, Tom has some important commentary to make.  He wrote a good piece titled “You can’t get there from here — a phrase that helps define disruption“, but the key […]

Elsewhere, Dennis Howlett and I are on a crusade to highlight the ease of getting in to blogging, and the value it can add to your business and marketing mix.  Courtesy of Steve Rubel, I couldn’t resist this.  If a Wookie can start blogging, surely you can?  Some of those family photographs are a scream.Technorati […]

We definitely have a technology boom, triggered by the lower cost of entry for budding entrepreneurs, but some would suggest that must mean we are heading for a bubble that will burst.  Chris Anderson has written an insightful piece in the latest Wired which suggests otherwise.  He says: “Companies are once again minting […]

Dennis Howlett and I did a podcast yesterday about the basics of blogging, touching on the good reasons for doing it, Search Engine Optimisation, but also covering websites in general, and the marketing aspects around them.  We moved on to the use of Software as a Service based systems in business and accounting, but ended […]

For those of you who liked my guide to blogging, I’m planning a supplemental resource when I move off Blogger shortly. I’ve seen lots of lists recently, but I couldn’t resist pointing you at Kevin Pierpoint’s 10 Lists of 10 for Smashing Blog Success.

Now this doesn’t have much to do with business or Web 2.0, but it’s an interesting diversion, that I’m sure will spark an idea for you. Robert P.
