And via ComputerWorld News, here are some interesting comments about business blogging made at the Demo 2004 conference...
John Patrick, a former executive at IBM, where he helped develop the company's Internet strategy, moderated a panel discussion on business implications of the online blogging phenomenon. He called it a new medium that will allow customers, partners and vendors to communicate, share and find information.
"The Internet is one of those things that comes around every 100 years and changes everything," Patrick said, discounting criticism of the emerging form of communication. "Blogging is another one."
Over the past 10 years, many business leaders called the Internet "interesting," he said, but insisted that they would "never connect our company to the Internet." Many of those same business people are today wrongly discounting the idea of blog use for business, he said.
