Relationship Blogging – Rich Tatum
This afternoon, I attended an interesting session about Relationship Blogging by Rich Tatum of http://tatumweb.com/blog/. He had some good summary’s. He talked about Dave Winer, Scoble and a few other well know bloggers. (Glad to see the inside looking out and recognizing ideas that work. Lets face it, Thats often not the case in Ministry). Here is a few bullet points.

Blogs need to be about :

• transparency
• authenticy
• conversation
• connections
• personal
• intimate

Why are Blogs different different :

• Personally Written, rarely vetted
• often raw, emotional, and assertive
• More Like letters than articles
• Occasional and timely
• Controversy friendly

He followed the relationship of a number of bloggers to show how relationships are built and dialogue occurs.
