Put Another Log On The Blog...

I quite often read and keep up with blogs written by people doing special stuff of interest to me- leaders, health, business, fascinating people, etc. One of many I follow is Mark Cuban, the co-founder of the internet company broadcast.com of which he sold to Yahoo for $$$Billions of dollars. His blog address is 'www.blogmaverick.com'. He is an extremely successful businessman, a billionaire, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and new internet company HDNet.com. He, like others I follow, are fascinating to keep 'up with' and observe by way of the new type of written word, blogs. Unknowingly, this new type of written word is a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse of the daily thoughts and feelings of what's important in a persons world at the present moment- now. You almost get to see what's going on in a person's mind in 'close to' real time. Mark Cuban allows the reader to actually understand current important things from his point of view and a business 'effect' point of view. The insight is priceless in value to a guy like me. Even some apparently mundane blogs draw out such great insight to trends, opportunities and the like.
One statistic Mark Cuban quoted recently was that '95% of blogs are read by 25 people or less.' I think a lot people write blogs to use primarily as a way to communicate with family and close friends and the rare internet scraggler who catches it out there in e-land. I believe a little research can attract a high degree of value and service to you through serendipity in the most unusual blogs. It is a much better source of current happenings than most realize! Web sites reflect a short to medium time period of reference(your brand and image) whereas blogs keep you in the daily 'know', providing the person writing the blog keeps up with it and are getting fresh thoughts...a daily or at the outside, weekly stream of new information from the real person behind the brand and image.
I say a personal thank you to all bloggers for blogs! I hope you find mine, get on board, and hang on for the ride and at any time put a log on my blog. I want to see the fire grow!
Until the next weblog...
