One Virus to Another
Blogging is very viral. Companies should participate, but not as a company. Instead as people that work in a company.
A couple of weeks ago this blog got on a list called the Z-List. It seems to be slowing down but initially spread quickly and generated a lot of links.
Now there is 2000 Bloggers and people are posting it around the web. I sent my request and am part of it now.
People frequently take up blogging because they hear me or someone else talk about it. Then, when they do not get hits and comments quickly they want to know what is wrong. You have to participate in the community and once in a while you will get an opportunity to get involved in some viral blog thing and your blog will really take off.

ONE VIRUS TO ANOTHER…
2000 Bloggers-Idol meets Survivor with Apprentice: Vote some off the island!
The @List Blogroll(It’s like a Z list, only different)
Think American Idol meets Survivor with The Apprentice. Who gets voted off the island? Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? Hired or fired? Do you Digg it? Use reality tv groundrules, and VOTE!
Hotel @nyware is paying the 2000 bloggers off in social currency. This is an open source call out there to vet out the 2000 to Hotel @nyware’s new Z list of 150.
You’re right about someone needing to participate in the blogging “community” in order to get people to notice them. Otherwise it’s akin to walking into a room, and expecting everyone to look at you when you don’t even talk to the people in front of you.
