Toby Bloomberg links to advice for new bloggers

The Blog, The Press, The Media: Links of Love: Blogging the Enteprise Conference: The [Re]Play by Play
Bloggers from enterprises both large and small were in attendance along with a cabal of PR flack trying to get their arms around this whole blogging "thing" (it's a phenomena, people, not the Creature from the Black Lagoon) -- and the discussion was quite good: very forward thinking with lots of great questions.

John Moore from the Brand Autopsy reminded us that blogging can make "small companies big, and big companies small," and Shel Israel, co-author with Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble of the coming blogging tome "Naked Conversations" did some great real-time blogging during the event (Shel, how do you cover so much ground so quickly typing with those two index fingers???) even as he also participated in a panel and led us down the path of blogging righteousness in a full-on pitch that identified blogging's "sinners and winners."
