Business Blog Wire

Tune in to The Today Show on NBC this Wednesday, February 1st!  At least from 7:15 to maybe 7:30 am, that is - it’s when Know More Media writer George Parker is scheduled to make an appearance to discuss the effect of the Web on newspaper advertising.  I’ll be up early to watch it, and I hope you will, too.  George has a great sense of humor and another important sense as well - a keen sense of the good and bad in advertising, and of the trends in that industry.

So why the plug?  Well, this is a blog about business blogging.  And I wanted to give you a one-paragraph example of a gentle nudge (see above).  In your corporate blogging or freelance professional blogging, you’ll surely find opportunities to mention people or products that aren’t central to your particular discussion, but that you do like or want your readership to know about for some reason.  I say, let ‘em know, and do it briefly, and then get back to the meat and potatoes of your discussion.

Just don’t mention your cat.
