It's closer to a blog than the other sites. It links to sites outside of ketchum in their writing -- MSM sites and some bloggers. It provides some smart thinking. They could use a blogroll. And no, blogs do not have to have comments as you say. The dialoge can take place across blogs as well as in comments. Ask RageBoy. Or Instapundit if you must. Personally, I like comments. Not everyone does. It's an age old blog debate. Kind of like - is blogging journalism. Okay, now I gotta run.

But it won't work to insinuate that Ketchum has had its body happily swimming along in the blog waters when in fact it has barely put a toe in up til now. Unless you include the Kudos blogspot fiasco. And I KNOW you're a smart guy, because I worked with you for four or five years, and we started as cube mates. And I like and miss working with you. But you're one guy. There are others, I'm sure, in your ranks -- where's anthony? -- without important titles, that you need to set free to share their knowledge or tap into. Anthony and I tried to move the discussion forward long ago, so I knwo you have/had? at least one guy. My opinion? You have to get more folks joining the conversation at all levels--and first, they have to understand that there is one. If you're the spokesperson for this effort, the ombudsman, your own blogroll would be one place for you to start. Instead of tossing a few hierarchically 'on top' sites and a few top top blogs on your blogroll -- along with your self (photos) -- try digging down into the conversation and adding the folks you read to that list. Maybe even some Ketchum plebians. If all you're reading is what's on your blogroll, then you're in trouble already. my two cents. It's a fast note because I have to run. best to ya up north! -jeneane You say you’ve been passionate about blogging since 2002, but it’s really 2004 (you posted twice in two years), which is fine.
