BLOGS: Instant Messaging for Business.

The best examples of business blogs are those that provide useful, relevant, enlightening content that their audiences can learn from and apply to their own personal or business situations, and further their success. That's the kind of blog that NOISE aims to achieve each month with Trendspottings, which nearly 1,000 marketing professionals now subscribe to — and the response last month to our post "Are You Ready For Your Brett Favre" suggests we were pretty successful.

Beyond the number of positive personal comments we received, our article in appeared (in no particular order) in online news channels and blogs including:

• Small Business Times
  
• Zimbio.com
  
• Project Clarity
• Bitemarks
• Alltop

A little chest-thumping on our part? Okay, we admit it, a little. But here's the real point we're trying to illustrate: If you're a marketer that includes blogging as part of your overall branding, marketing and communications mix, don't miss the opportunity to make bold, timely statements — statements that could reverberate throughout the blogosphere, garnering you and your company valuable ripple effects of awareness and attention that could, ultimately, add to your success.
