It seems to be a very common thread at the moment, everyone is talking about making money from blogs. We have bloggers auctioning themselves, here and here. Our same intrepid blogger who is auctioning himself, sold his blog earlier this year as well. Almost every blog now has some form of money making items, beContinue reading “Money from blogs?”

Corporate blogging dangerous to your paycheck?
Scott Rosenberg provides some interesting commentary on corporate blogging and how dangerous it can be if you are not really careful.
More on hiring a blogger
Jeremy has posted a good summary on his blog as to why a company would to set up a blog. While I agree with all of his points, this post could be just seen as advertising for his auction. However I hope it is not the case, as he does offer some very valid pointsContinue reading “More on hiring a blogger”
Businesses to fund training
I read an interesting article in the Financial Review this morning (unfortunately I cannot link to the online article as it requires paid registration) about how the government is looking to force companies to invest in staff training if they wish to tender for government contracts.

Darren seems very qualified for write a blog, as he says he has 75,000 visitors a month, which lets just say is a few more than me :-). I agree with Splatt it will be interesting to see theContinue reading “Another blogger for hire”
Is the world broke?
After another very hot weekend in Sydney (38-40C or 100-104F) we got home tonight and decided (in a second on stupidity) to order Pizza Hut. Boy what a mistake. Initially the order taker denied our voucher because she did not know about it, then my wife tried to call them back to complain. Then thingsContinue reading “Is the world broke?”
