"Aren't blogs just bloggers commenting on each others blogs?"

Whilst at the Shine Unconference last weekend, a few bloggers (and a few non-bloggers) got together to discuss why we blogged (or didn't in the case of some). Dave Dawes of Entreprenurses had his magic podcast recording kit on him and recorded the session.

The result is an impromptu podcast featuring a host of social entrepreneurial bloggers, including:

The podcast covered a lot of ground in a relatively short time - these were the issues discussed:
  • Meeting and networking with people via their blog
  • Making time for creating and following blogs
  • How blogs can raise the profile of your social enterprise
  • The role of blog comments and blog readership (where the title of this post came from)
  • Corporate vs personal/informal blogging styles
  • How to start blogging (Typepad, Wordpress, etc)
  • The pros and cons of Twitter (the scary world of microblogging)
  • Is mobile blogging the next evolution?
  • Finding out that lots more people read your blog than you thought
  • Dealing with information overload and using blogreaders and RSS feeds
  • Using blogs to share ideas, develop ideas and create collaborations
  • How UnLtdworld works
  • Why some people like blogs, other like podcatss, others like forums, others like twitter - the role of people's personality preference and learning style

The podcast can be downloaded here (35 Mb). The music is "Fire Dance" by djbouly and is brought to you under a creative commons licence.

Many thanks to Dave for producing the podcast for us all to enjoy!
