Great stuff. I’ve recently come across several studies that show social engagement (with real clients) across Twitter and Facebook has hit a plateau of sorts while blog subscriptions (RSS and email) continue to rise. If you are not creating original content – you are not a new media marketer.

This is very timely for me. I had no doubt about the value of continuing my own blogging but the siren calls I was hearing from and for the outposts were making me a bit nervous about my recommending that clients have a blog as a key part (the centerpiece?) of their social media engagment “kit”. Thanks for a thoughtful, elegantly expressed and helpful post.

If used correctly, blogging is a powerful tool for any company. The blogging world is pretty saturated, but this provides loads of opportunity to be creative and separate yourself from the pack!

I agree that blogging, although it has been around for some time now, is still a great way to express your thoughts as well as improve your writing skills. I also believe that they can be very helpful in securing any job that requires you to write. As we all know, the first thing an employer will do when they get your resume is look at your online status be it Facebook, Twitter, etc. Why not have a professional blog that shows you can write well and consistently?

It seems that people have just forgotten about blogging. Sure, the network effects that Twitter and FB can provide are amazing, but the simple act of creating real content shouldn’t be undervalued. When you’re speaking/sharing/creating on your own site, you’re the center of attention. You don’t have to fight the noise.
