It's raining (pouring, really) here in Toronto and as much as I want to write about:
- Marketing Magazine's new blog (It's a very interesting experiment - blogging behind the scenes as a marketer tries to rebrand the WWF.)
- Havard Business School's "Working Knowledge" article on blogging, Does Your Company Belong in the Blogosphere (Great, concise article on the positive impact a blog can have on your company and/or your brand. Marketers or PR people who use it as their *only* guideline for blogging may be in a bit of trouble though. Lines like "In your blog, express your enthusiasm and passion for your work and your company's product, with occasional asides on topics that reflect your personal interests. The latter will keep your voice authentic and increase the linkability of your blog" are packed full of meaning and advice that will take a new blogger a while to decode.
- The results from the Great Canadian Blog Survey [Download PDF of Survey (3.2mb)].
today seems like a really great day to discuss my irrational penchant for online psyche-categorizing quizes. After having previously revealed that the social networking software I most resemble is the GNE, I now disclose the 20th century theorist that I most resemble!
You are Martin Heidegger! Your reputation is stained a bit by the fact that you were a member of the Nazi party, but your groundbreaking Being and Time is still read by a whole lot of people. You overuse the hyphen, and make up a lot of words. You died in 1976.
Check out Google "Which * are you?" and you can find all sorts of quizzes. My next ones will likely be "Which File Extension are You?" and "Which Biblical Villian are You?" (though some would say Heidegger fits the bill already)
A shout out to Desperate Kingdoms (who comes up as Foucault) for this link.
