Will You Continue To Blog?

Even though I've had a fun experience learning to blog in this class. I probably won't continue blogging after this class just because I really don't have the time to dedicate everyday. I know blogs require alot of time and dedication in order to be successful but I will probably be busy with other things.

dot.com to dot.bomb thoughts

The book I read about for my presentation, "Brand Driven", talked a little about the reason why so many dot.com companies failed. It was because they focused too much on advertising without delivering the many promises made to their customers. The lack in customer faith and trust, pushed many customers toward other companies. This customer satisfaction factor played a big role in whether a company was successful or not.

Travel Planning and the Web

Its really amazing how easy travel planning has becoming in the past years. Instead of going to a travel agent to plan out your trips, you can do it yourself online and save money in the process. Now, you can even book hotels, rental cars, and find tourist spots, through the many travel planning sites. So when I happen to plan out any trips in the near future, I will know where to look.

Having the owner of such a popular blog coming into our class to talk to us was a good experience for us. I'm starting to think Andrew has alot of connections. He's always able to bring in these busy people to talk with us. Kevin's blog was interesting to me because he just blogs about his life and things he enjoys and just by doing that, he has attracted numerous people to his site that share the same interests. So he basically reached out to thousands of people just by blogging about anything he felt like blogging. It shows you the network you are about to make through the internet.
