Blogs, what?

by DL Byron on September 29, 2005

A survey in London found that Londoners have little to no idea what blogging or podcasting is.

Our research not only shows that there is no buzz about blogging and podcasting outside of our media industry bubble, but also that people have no understanding of what the words mean,” Carter said. “It’s a real wake-up call.

The wake-up call is to remember that bloggers do talk to themselves too much. If you’d like to learn more about blogging, what it is, and what it can do for business, check the Blogging 101 Seminar. Stateside, blogs are much better known, but still not as much as we’d think, especially when it comes to business.

I had an interesting experience in London today, where sitting in a cafe in the center of town.. a group of women who looked like a knitting circle were talking about their blogs! … a knitting circle!

I tell you.. it’s one step away from my grandmother getting her own blog ;o)

Still the seminar seems like a great idea ;o)

That’s great! And, a knitting circles is one of the examples that Scoble uses to discuss how beneficical RSS is for audiences beyond geeks.
