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.

With the Latter-day Saints advertising and marketing on TV and Radio so much, this brings about the question why aren’t other ministries using the power of mass media to bring about awareness and image building. I don’t like dealing with the media, but because of the reach and power it has, it can be a wonderful opportunity for you to tell everyone who you are. So I was very pleased to find “Spot Runner” where they make it easy for you to advertise on TV/Radio and do it cost effectively. Keep me aware of your experiences with this service like all the many services I talk about.
