A Blogging Conversation in Chicago
I’m in the Hyatt Regency Chicago on the 27th floor, getting ready to give a three-hour presentation on blogging for business for the ALI Social Media Conference.
My presentation is ready, and I’m poking around online for some last-minute inspiration. In my search, I ran across an excellent article in BusinessWeek by David Armano, called: Its the Conversation Economy, Stupid.
My sweet five year old friend Alice would tell you “stupid is not a nice word,” and I agree with her.
But I am increasingly frustrated with business leaders who are afraid to enter the world of online conversations. And in that frustration, I am likely to call the whole lot of them stupid, especially as time goes on.
How do I get around it? By continuing to teach and preach.
One of my pre-conference workshop attendees asked to learn “how to make a case for blogging inside an organization?”
I now have some extra ammunition and inspiration, thanks to David Armano, who blogs at Logic+Emotion.

It’s about the conversation she had while here. By the way, go to her site for a good link to some ammunition you can use for making the case for blogging within your organization….check out her main blog…you’ll always find some good stuff for making the blog case…thanks Janet…sorry I was too cheap to go to the pre-conf. workshop now.
