I had the awesome privilege this morning of having breakfast at Noshville with Rex Hammock along with my boss Jay Graves. Jay has business connections going back aways with Rex and I got inspired after seeing Rex and others talk about blogging for business early this year.
We spent well over an hour talking about dot-com history and web 2.0 future. Mainly, all of us are interested in how web 2.0 applications will impact business and marketing in the not too distant future tomorrow.
Rex tipped me off to some interesting ways in which he's managing e-mail traffic at his office. Why not use a Wiki application to post "water-cooler worthy" content rather than have it filling up your in-box (unless you want it to!)? And I found that if you know Google and your name is Hammock, you might consider an additional line of business.
After seeing Rex, Brittney and Nick Bradbury at an NTC event in January I really got interested in blogging. That led me to wikis, RSS, frappr, flickr, feedburner, Typepad, MySpace, LinkedIn, Nashvilleistalking, Micropersuasion, Naked Conversations, iTunes and YouTube...and I could go on and on. I'm authoring a blog for my business, on my church, and for the 24 page views per day that my personal life draws. I'm bought in - and excited finally to be (almost) on the front end of an unstoppable business movement.
Thanks to Jay and Rex for getting my Friday off to a fascinating start.
