Blog. Or die.
'Blog. Or die." 英文版的“不在沉默中爆发,就在沉默中死亡。”这么有力的话不是我说的,是Tom Peters 为一本新书写续的时候说的;该新书名为《Naked Conversations》(非常有创意且传神的书名,简直就是“blog”的代名词),幅标题为:How blogs are changing the way businesses talk with customers. (告诉那些看到黄色封面开始胡思乱想的人这本书真正是关于什么的。)
blog先锋把这些战略战策集书出版至少说明一个道理:一个个人blog的的访问量无论有多大,blogger终究无法抵挡用传统的方式传播他的理念的诱惑。据说本书作者Robert Scoble 从2000年就开始blogging,每年的访问量超过300万;但是他的书是否能卖到300万册呢?
从另一作者Shel Israel的blog看来,这个叫Bruce Curley的techincal writer 对这本书赞赏有加,他的blog里有很多关于这本书的介绍。摘一段:
Successful Blog Traits...Scobele and Israel give five tips for blogs that succeed:
Talk...don't sell
Post often...and be interesting
Write about issues you know...and care about
Blogging saves money...but costs time
You get smarter by listening to what people tell you
简单的介绍一下作者:Robert Scoble 是一个“微软博客怪侠”(Microsoft Geek Blogger,这样翻译不知道是否妥当),现在负责微软的Channel 9,一个微软内部开发人员的交流平台,不同的开发小组可以介绍自己的产品,组员可以发表意见,可是通过文字的方式,也可以通过视频采访的形式。
(Channel 9 is a Microsoft website aimed at developers. The major goal of Channel 9 is to embrace and extend some of the ideas in the Cluetrain Manifesto; "market are conversations", not a one-way road paved by advertisers. Channel 9 features interviews with Microsoft developers about their products, a forum to discuss the videos and other topics, and a wiki ), which has been adopted by various Microsoft teams as a way to aggregate feedback and respond to issues. )
Shel Israel 是一个有20多年经验的创新战略专家,成功推动了若干十个大公司的创新计划。
这是一本商业书籍,也许其原理不适合一些名人的blog,但是应该适用于AMTeam。
