The Blogging for Business event organised by Tom for the IT Association of Cork went well last night; I think there were about 20 or so attendees, and the four speakers contrasted each other nicely: a prolific blogger (Maura), a researcher (me), a journalist (Richard) and an IT consultant (Tom). Some of the attendees said they have been inspired to start their own personal / professional blogs, so the Irish blogosphere will grow some more…
Gavin got very drunk, well not really, but he says he did, and we had an interesting discussion about a compromising photo of Condoleeza Rice taken by the Google Maps satellite, or am I getting confused. Argh, I need more sleep…
Oh, I’d love to see the search queries that pull up this post!
Love our new titles from Maura
The slides from the event are now online. I really liked Maura’s overview of the blog world, and her description of how there is a link between history and blogs through reprints of journals from the past. Richard’s advice to IT managers was timely and useful, and I really learned a lot from Tom’s stuff on SEO.
