What should I blog?
Company blogs, eh. What do you put on them? Forrester Research says no-one trusts them anyway. I buy that up to a point. If all you’re blogging about is your latest press release, or how cool your latest product / service / “viral” is, why should anyone care?
But you have to put something on a company blog. Don’t you? At the very least it should give readers a flavour of the people that work there and their attitude to their work.
With that in mind I have a number of blog titles that I can’t choose between. The one with the popular vote will get written. If you are sufficiently motivated to, please plop a comment in the box indicating your preference. While we’re rebuilding this site there’s no point adding a polling plugin right now.
The candidates are:
- STFU about Web 2.0
- It’s not a viral, it’s a video, n00btard
- What’s the point of blogging?
- TechGnosis - 10 years on
- Now where did I put that Singularity…
- Chillax, it’s just a website
- Twatter
- Wii Fat
- Social Art
- A squirrel eating some fried chicken
Over to you.

I very much like the sound of the first three options, though I feel the second one is neatly summarised just by the title and doesn’t require much explanation. In fact, I blogged something similar myself a week or so ago because I got annoyed

I vote for “It’s not a viral, it’s a video, n00btard” and “Twatter”

“It’s not a viral, it’s a video, n00btard” gets my vote

There’s a pattern emerging…

It’s definitely the squirrel for me. But you’d have to get the word “egregious” in there for me to be truly happy.

Personally, I don’t trust the forrester blog post that says people don’t trust company blogs.
“It’s not a viral” sounds like an interesting rant

@phil - Egregious Squirrel sounds like it should be a dotcom. You might like this site (comparatively SFW) - http://fuckyoupenguin.blogspot.com/

Phil,
I’m highly entertained by the phrase n00btard. That gets my vote.
