Blogging is Like a Big Networking Party

Hi Folks and welcome to the Scout Blog. I’m happy that you dropped by.

I’m coming to you from the Search Engine Strategies Conference at the New York Hilton. The Backbone SEO team and I are here at the show to have some interesting conversations with great people. Yes, we’re also here to launch our new corporate blogging service called SCOUT. I feel like we should smash a bottle or something. That’s probably not a good idea since this laptop isn’t covered for that kind of damage.

We are off to a fun start. Lot’s of familiar faces jetting around the Hilton. The crew and I spent some time in the lounge tonight and we had a smashing time catching it up with some of our SEM professional friends from past years.

I had a lucky encounter with “the Red Headed Irish SEO Lady”. Now that we’ve been formally introduced, I can tell you that her real name is Fionn Downhill and she is non other than the the Chief Executive Officer and President of Elixir Systems. We had a lovely chat about some of the work she is doing with SEMPO. This encounter is an example of blogs connecting people. Or was it SES that connected us. I don’t know. It’s late and I need to wake up in four hours for the beginning of the conference.

I’m just so excited about what blogging means for business. On the way in from Boston, I noticed several AT&T billboards that had the word “blogging delivered”. As more and more business leaders and thinkers have started blogging, the internet has become a huge cocktail party where you, Mr or Ms. Businessperson can can listen in or join into the conversations that are within the context of your business interests. I’ll check back in later.

Blogs are the future of for all non-marketing department corporate communications.

Chet, I agree that blogging is really helpful for non-marketing corporate communications. From my research with a number of companies, it seemed as if the product builders and product supporters in a company, gained the most value from a corporate blog by providing the most value to customers through their blogging efforts
