If It Isn't Blogging, Then What Is It?

Ellee Seymour and Geoff Jones have persuaded local newspaper the Cambridge Evening News to run a column about blogging and business.

However, as Ellee explains, they aren’t sure whether or not to use the word “blog” in the title.

I can understand why… it doesn’t sound particularly good, but I think we’re stuck with it now and if the column is to draw in people who aren’t already into blogging then I think it’s important to use the same term as everyone else. Maybe the extended version - “weblog” - would be close enough and a bit more business-like?

Regardless of the term they choose, I hope they set-up some sort of blog to go with the column. It would help show the value of blogs if there’s a place for the readers to find the links to the original articles mentioned in the column and, more importantly, somewhere for them to discuss and comment upon the column.

UPDATE: Oops, in my rush to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, I forgot to include the proper links to Ellee, Geoff and the CEN. Added them now.
