HW 14
This homework assignment asked us to consider whether businesses are currently being affected by the recent uproar of blogging or not. After reading the assigned passages, I have come to the conclusion that businesses cannot afford to not consider blogging as a means of creating profit.
As stated on page 222 by Steven Barker and Heather Green, “It doesn’t matter whether you’re shipping paper clips, pork bellies, or videos of Britney in a bikini, blogs are a phenomenon that you cannot ignore, postpone, or delegate. Given the changes barreling down upon us, blogs are not a business elective. They’re a prerequisite.”
The moment some of the more well known businesses begin to catch on to this growing fad, it will catch like a wildfire in California. With 40,000 new blogs created everyday it is hard to believe that businesses wouldn’t begin to advertise and post new blogs.
