Thanks, Ajit, I really enjoyed this post, and learned a lot from it.
As a PR professional, I am extremely interested in the implications of blogging for the field (some say it is a death knell, I disagree), have started my own blog, and am always looking for good advice on improving my blogging game.
Your post gave me new food for thought, and that says something when you consider that there is already quite a lot of very good advice out on blogging.
I agree with your concern about anonymous blogging, in fact on my blog I have proposed a new PR code of ethics for social media, one of the caveats is that people need to identify themselves and their affiliations (this still relatively new way of communicating favors transparency).

Thanks Tommi. I have had others saying the same to me. It seems to work on Google reader for me (in firefox) but not sure if there is a problem. Clearly others have the same problem as well. so thanks for your comment. Hope you are well. kind rdgs Ajit

Ajit,
Good posting.
I do agree with commenter Raddedas wrt anonymous and ‘every so often’ bloggers. The key, as a thoughtful and critical reader, is to ensure that what is being posted is accurate and timely and interesting. The web is filled with less than qualified writers and if you blindly believe everything you read, shame on you as a reader. This is similar to believe everything you read on Wikipedia without doing the necessary double check.
Best,
Dag.

Just making sure, Ajit, are you aware that the division into paragraphs doesn’t work in your RSS feed? It’s not a major problem, but it makes long posts difficult to read.
Tried it with Google Reader and Feedreader.

Ajit, I have a question for you. What are your thoughts on a company blog? It’s a nice way to communicate with interested visitors, but it seems to me that it’s not news or analysis. Well, I guess you could say it’s both, but for one company. I think it’s a way to build community. As a Web 2.0 company, we put up a blog and underestimated how much work it was to keep it updated and the content fresh. We have multiple people who post to the blog and I wonder if that is confusing for the audience. We also realize that we need almost a full-timer to keep up with tracking, etc. Alas, we’ve not found the resources for it yet as we are still an understaffed startup. I hope to change that in the future. What are some of the best company blogs in your opinion?
