Does Blogging Kill?
Techtree.com – Apr 8, 2008
The blog post idea was triggered by the recent heart attack he suffered, just like two other prominent bloggers aged 60 and 50, who too unfortunately passed away.

With emerging money-making trends, even amateur bloggers aren’t far from the hazardous loop of blogging. To explain the ill-effects of blogging, the report describes blogging as burdensome.

Blogging sports from the point of view of a fan
London Free Press – Apr 8, 2008
Why not trade goalie Vesa Toskala — who is amazing, and their only true bona-fide asset — to goaltender-starved Los Angeles for the second-overall pick?

Part corporate blog, MyStarbucksIdea also has the feel of an online social network. Though users can’t link up over e-mail or post profiles of themselves, the comments they post often read like friendly conversations _ with people complimenting one another on their ideas or elaborating when comments about their posts make them feel misunderstood. The site is powered by Salesforce. com, the same San Francisco customer relations management firm that powers IdeaStorm… The site also will break out the most popular ideas to give others a chance to rise to the top, and users will be prompted to search whether an idea has already been posted before they add their own, a move to keep duplicates to a minimum. IdeaStorm has helped Dell win back customers’ trust, experts said. “They really are actually responsive on the blog,” said Debbie Weil, a corporate blogging consultant and author of “The Corporate Blogging Book. “More significantly,” Weil said of Dell, “they’ve trained a whole department of customer service reps to be constantly trolling blogs and jumping on and saying, ‘I hear you’re having trouble with your machine. ‘” Weil characterized Starbucks’ site as “corporate blogging 2. 0,” calling it “a very interactive, fun, interesting community.
