Blogosphere at the Charleston Area Alliance

Well, This is the year blogs turn the ripe old age of 10. That’s right, a whole decade of online opinion, rumor, scandal and scorn. And a growth rate of about 1.6 million new blogs daily.

Recently, the Charleston Area Alliance hosted a CEO Roundtable on Blogging. Don't let the name fool you, it's not just for CEO's, but for all business leaders. This roundtable attracted about 25-30 people who are interested in blogging for themselves, the company they own, or the company they work for.

Matthew Ballard, President of the Charleston Area Alliance, Skip Lineburg of Maple Creative and Bob Coffield of the Health Care Blog all presented information on - what is a blog? Why would you want one? What are the positives-negatives? If you visit Bob's blog, (link above) he has posted the PowerPoint from the event on his blog.

Folks, as Matt said in the presentation, blogging is one method of getting customers, making money, and driving your message..... get into it or get left behind.

The CEO roundtable provided a good overview on the benefits of this new online medium (i.e., blogging). Thanks to Matt Ballard and the other presenters for their time and effort. I hope the Charleston Area Alliance will continue to facilitate dialogue on blogging for business.
