Just read a news article about it here: www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3556606 From the article: "The poll of corporate marketing and communications professionals found that 55 percent of corporations are blogging, with 91.4 percent of those using them for internal communications and 96.6 percent for external outreach. More than half had launched their blogs within the last year. "It's a recent phenomenon," said Mike Sigal, CEO of Guidewire. "We thought we were still waiting for the turn in the hockey stick of adoption, but we're already on the steep part of the curve." Sounds awfully rosy to me. But who knows! Get the numbers, you stats hound. Rick,

In fact, you would only need to change the speaker and company names. Still, it was good, not least because you were speaking. I think as long as disclaimers are made, blatant commercialization is all right. For speeches that aren't sponsor messages, you should keep your pitch to a sentence or two and then let your oratory drive your business. Everybody was worried about the selling out of the web back then. It was too late then and its too late for the blogosphere now. Besides, every right thinking person should visit Montana Headline News at The Outrider. http://www.theoutrider.com/MTHN/current.htm It sounds very reminiscent of the Web Marketing conference put on by Thunder Lizard that you spoke at in 1999.
