Smart Company – Blogging’s The Business
Got my copy of Smart Company in the post this morning… nice article by Tom Raftery across pages 26-27 arguing “that a blog can be used as a powerful commercial tool”. Reads well and should be a good source for companies who still rely on industry mail publications to find out whats going on in…
Whats this? Techcrunch UK?
So the Techcrunch empire continues to expand and has moved into the UK market, courtesy of London-based entrepreneur and blogger Sam Sethi. The blog, which launched today, will continue to focus on startups but from a UK perspective entirely. The design is a little different and the blog doesn’t carry the same heavyweight advertising as…
Blogging For The Big Bucks
Those of you who are WordPress users and still have your dashboard intact may have picked up on this already, but if not, it’s well worth reading ‘Blogging For Dollars‘ on CNNMoney.com’s Business 2.0 magazine. The article itself takes a big look at Mike Arrington, the name behind TechCrunch, as well as peering in at…
Another blog? Ah Ken…
Another blog, another RSS feed but its serving a more short term (3 month) and local (Kilkenny) focus as I’ve just launched KilkennyMusic.com’s coverage of the 2006 Battle Of The Bands, fully aiming to make the best use of the web for the event (which I’m involved in from a judging perspective) which hits the…
Wrote Blog, Got Fired.
Interesting one this. An English secretary, Catherine, whose surname remains private and blogs under the guise of ‘Petite Anglaise’ is taking a test case to French court under French Labour Law after allegedly getting the sack over the writings of her anonymous blog detailing her life in Paris. Anonymous in every regard bar the use…

The study, Pew’s most extensive yet of blogging, found that both…
And Up Goes The Page Rank
So after a long haul, kenmc.com has risen to a page rank of four. Just noticed that over the weekend courtesy of an email from Text Link Ads kindly notifying me to the fact that I had now been accepted to the program, having been rejected a few months back for a low popularity. So…
Where One Blog Ends….
…another one begins. Sucker for punishment, or just someone who enjoys his writing and musings, I’ve launched yet another blog with the focus remaining on soccer. World Cup Access has been a fantastic micro-journey for me but I feel its regular postings (331 at present count, with an estimated 10-15 left in me as I…
A Self Lesson In Blogging
World Cup Access is teaching me a good lesson in blogging. Particularly now that I’m live blogging all the games (though the 2pm games might prove a bit tricky in a work environment!). The lesson is the most basic of all blogging lessons. Original content, and plenty of it, gets people coming back for more…
