Lots of interesting things this week. Why don’t we just dive in? Great here we go…
-Blogging, blogs, bloggers… some have said that blogging is soooo 2008. Not according to this report from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research! It stats that 13% of Fortune 500 and 39% of the Inc. 5000 currently have a blog! You can read more about it here as well as review a copy of the report
-In case you were worried I would not mention Facebook today, do not be. As of this post they should have hit 160 million users.
-Oh and yes, I must mention Twitter. Recently it got $20 million and it is said its total valuation is $250 million, now they just need to monetize all this. Take a look at a great post by Joe Hall here about how “Twitter is a Cash Cow in the Making”
