Blogs Good For Business?

Well that is for you to decide....

Blogging has become very popular in the past year. At the end of 2004, there were more than 10.4 million blogs out there. Mind you that some of these blogs are simply family oriented or inactive with a large following under the age of 30.

Last month, Fortune magazine estimated that U.S. companies have 5,000 bloggers. This month's Harvard Business Review calls blogging one of its "breakthrough ideas for 2005." "Blogs will flourish or survive based on how good they are," Austin says.

Just about everybody says blogging is working through an era not unlike that of the Wild West.
