Is the blogosphere doomed by unprofessional behavior?

These public bitchfest’s by the supposed “A-List” really need to be taken offline. This crap has filled my RSS reader for too long – I want to be reading real, valuable, useful information from these “thought leaders”, not this drivel. If you can’t share an opinion in a way that adds value – why bother?

I haven’t bothered to read up on the current brouhaha involving Loren Feldman/Mike Arrington and Shel Isreal because I really couldn’t care less. The result is that TechCrunch has less value today than yesterday, and I now know that I’ll not even bother to stop in at 1938 Media. I’ve got better things to waste my valuable time on.

If you’re wondering when blogging will overtake MSM, you’ll first have to get the leading online “publications” to stop acting like 10 year old playground bullies. Until that happens, and people working on high-profile sites start acting like real professionals blogging will remain a little Gen-Y pipedream.

There – I feel better now. 😉

Personal Branding Magazine – Issue 2

Personal Branding Magazine I’d like to point you to Issue 2 of Personal Branding Magazine.  While this publication is still quite young, there is significant traction with the authors, editors and publisher Dan Schawbel.  This issue breaks new ground for the magazine with several new contributing writers, reporters, editing staff and sponsorships.

While this is a non-profit magazine with all proceeds going directly to The American Cancer Society, the quality and coverage is top notch.  With articles from thought leaders and experts in personal branding, you will find many helpful ideas and techniques that will help promote your greatest asset – yourself.

Dan kicks off the excitement with a cover story on none other than GE’s Jack Welch.  Also included is an interview with Philip Rosedale, the founder of SecondLife.  With an updated format for easier reading, and many reader-suggested improvements, Issue 2 has been a work of professionalism, and the desire to provide you with real-world ideas and information.

Available November 1st, 2007!
