Blogs Are The Thing

Posted on May 22, 2005

Rockford Register Star Executive Editor Linda Grist Cunningham has an interesting article about blogging. She reports that she receives many links from her readers pointing her to the best blogs. Her readers tell her that she needs to read these blogs to truly understand blogging.

Blogs are so "the thing" that they made the cover of Business Week magazine with an ominous headline warning corporate execs they'd better start blogging or risk losing their businesses. Blogs are so "the thing" that Rockford Register Star readers send me links to their favorite blogs every day, usually with a similarly ominous warning that only by reading such-and-such blog will I ever see the light and follow the correct path to true enlightenment.

Linda Cunningham also reports that here two favorite blogs are Romenesko's blog and her son's blog -- which gives you an idea of how widely blogs range from coverage of media news (Romenesko) to personal blogs about an individual's life with regular updates and photos. If her inbox is full of blog links then it sounds like the Register Star's readers are requesting more blog coverage.
