Beyond blogs

Artigo da Business Week, que me indicaram num bate-papo outro dia na redação da PEGN , e achei ótimo. É em inglês e vale a leitura.

Some could become stars and gain power. That was already happening. In this new world, any business that hoped to "control" information—and that included just about everybody—was in for a wild ride. This promised a seismic shock in our own media world. No mystery there. But it also posed challenges for businesses in practically every realm. Every e-mail or memo could be blogged.

"Your customers and rivals are figuring blogs out," we warned, adding: "Catch up…or catch you later."…. (leia tudo aqui ).
Se gostou, leia também o artigo de Tiago Dória sobre o reposicionamento do NY Times - de onde eu tirei esta imagem acima.
E para quem ainda não sabe muito de blog e quer saber se pode ser um bom negócio, vale ler a estréia de Wagner Fontoura na PEGN.
P.S. Nesta sexta tenho a honra de almoçar com a Tania, do blog Tania Defensora , que está aqui para um evento. Vamos comemorar o aniversário de um ano do blog dela!
