\"exit\"  I’d really like to attend BloggerCon II<\/EM> this weekend, but my body is just not up to being behind the wheel from Schenectady to Cambridge (too darn much weblogging, again).  Is anyone going to be near Albany\/ Schenectady on the New York Thruway heading to the Conference?  Maybe we could carpool (don’t worry, ethical Esq, haikuEsq, and Prof. Yabut only take up one collective seat).<\/FONT><\/P>

Speaking of BG2,<\/EM> John Palfrey<\/A> pointed tonight to a Christian Science Monitor<\/EM> <\/FONT>article<\/FONT><\/A> about the conference: “Blogs: here to stay — with changes,” by Gregory M. Lamb, 04-05-2004, which has some interesting observations on the weblog phenomenon.<\/FONT><\/P>
\n

Lamb talked to Rebecca Blood<\/STRONG> of <\/FONT>rebecca’s pocket<\/FONT><\/A> about building a reputation through one’s weblog:<\/FONT><\/P>

\n

Although making a living just blogging is nearly impossible, a blog can have a great deal of career value by demonstrating one’s expertise and writing skills<\/STRONG>, thus serving as a “reputation builder,” Blood says by phone from San Francisco. “You can quickly establish yourself as an expert in your field by becoming a kind of one-stop source for information.”  (emphasis added)<\/FONT><\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>

Earlier this week, of course, we mentioned Rebecca in two posts — <\/FONT>quoting<\/FONT><\/A> from her <\/FONT>book<\/FONT><\/A> and paraphrasing her, <\/FONT>too<\/FONT><\/A> — on the same topic.  I wonder what she thinks about turnkey services like lexBlog<\/A>‘s as reputation-builders?   [Okay, I promise to stay off this topic for a few hours — unless I hear from Rebecca.]<\/FONT><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
