Here is a mature and well written piece on the issues at hand.
Everyone knows where I stand and where we as a franchise stand on the matter.
And I am a blogger — I read a lot too — and in my blog — I link to many articles from main stream media and bloggers as well.
I am non denominational in my linking; if it is a good and thoughtful piece — I offer “link love”; and I am not afraid to take to task anyone on my blog when someone writes something I disagree with — that is the power of interactivity.
As I noted — there are 200 million bloggers around the world now — this isn’t a fad — this is mainstream.
Also — why aren’t more owners doing daily blogging? Or answering all fan email? Jump in the water — it is nice and warm and inviting, I promise.
