My first Blog

For the past two months I have been learning a lot about "social media marketing" and "web 2.0." For those of you reading this who are unfamiliar with those terms I am basically talking about the serge of Facebook-like sites and blogs, etc. that have popped up in the last few years.

Also over the last couple of months I have been encouraged to have a blog and to quote "join the conversation." Don't worry unlike most of the "experts" I have no hidden agenda with this blog. I don't care about my place on Search Engine Results pages or in how many minutes my new posts get indexed. There will be no keyword research and no attempts to optimize posts for carefully selected keywords. This blog has one purpose. That purpose is to facilitate conversations and to encourage learning through conversation. I can honestly say that most of what I know today was learned though a good conversation with a knowledgeable friend and the rest in arguments with those who disagree with me.

One more thing you should know. There is no theme to this blog. I will simply write about the thoughts and ideas I think would benefit from conversation.

I welcome comments, criticisms and suggestions. I just ask that if you comment you keep with the spirit of growing and learning through conversation. Thanks for giving me five minutes of your time. You can subscribe to my blog using the RSS icon in the right side of the address bar.
