Sorry for the multiple link posts, just me trying to get my daily del.icio.us links posting. As with many people I come across lots of great links and so I am beginning to play with either publishing a daily listing here or building my very own linkblog.

Blog and be Damned
There is a great article in Radar (a special blog-like section in the SMH) that quotes Cameron Reilly and provides a good summary of why organisations should have a blogging policy (a personal bug bear of mine).

To comment or not comment that is the question
James Farmer has begun to formulate some thoughts on the comments question posed by Mark Bernstein at Blogtalk Downunder, what a debate this will be! Having spent a fair bit of time discussing this with James during the conference it will be interesting to see where this goes and what the rest of blogosphere thinksContinue reading “To comment or not comment that is the question”
