“Blogs will change your business,” or so says
Business Week magazine who calls blogs “…simply the most explosive outbreak in
the information world.”
Part
diary, part coffee house, part gonzo-journalism, the blog community has doubled
in size in the last eight months with 40 or more new sites going on-line
everyday. Corporations have been empowered (see GM) or flailed (Netflix)
by the ability or inability to harness the blog phenomenon. Blogs and the
self-publishing revolution have or will soon transform the communications
environment. We ignore it at our peril.
Join
Preti Flaherty and Garrand and Company for Blogstock ’05, a comprehensive
day-long conference on all things blog slated for October 26th 2005
at the Sheraton Harborside, Portsmouth NH. A panel of experts and current
business bloggers will share their expertise and experience.

Blogging: Genius Strategies for Instant Web Content and Who Let The Blogs Out?
He helped create the popular weblog community Xanga.com and spent two years
working at Google on Blogger. Recently, he left Google to help build Odeo, a
podcasting startup in San Francisco.
