Web 2.0 Logo Generatr, Windows Live Writr, and Naked Conversations
Went to Scobleizer to check something out and became diverted (as often happens) by something quite different. Robert Scoble had posted a link to Steve Rubel's Micro Persuasion blog, where he had a Web 2.0 logo generator. It's supposed to be a joke, but you can create your own Web 2.0 logo with or without a reflection or Beta tag. Really tough decision here, but I just had to go full out for all the options, as you can see here.
Really had gone there to see if he had posted anything new about the new Windows Live Writer application that was released into public Beta earlier this week. Have already found it to be a superb product, and one that will aid any blogger who good control over page layout, graphics, maps and the like. More on this later, but it would be well worth your while to look into this one.
I had also gone to his blog to find out a bit more about Bob Scoble's new book, Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers. He wrote it with Shel Israel, another expert on technology product innovation as can be seen on his site.
A colleague had just purchased this book and was raving about it, and kept referring to Bob Scoble as a "true visionary." On that comment we're in full agreement, but I wanted to browse through the book first. The first sentence is: "We live in a time when most people don't trust big companies."
With a beginning like that, the line is drawn in the sand, and after spending fifteen minutes with the book, will be getting my own copy. My colleague offered to let me read it when he's finished, but this book looks like a keeper. The authors state that there are Six Pillars of Blogging: six key differences between blogging and any other communications channel.
Keep in mind that Scoble practically invented blogging as we know it, and that both authors are well immersed in it. They understand bloggers, the culture and the technology behind it.
Our lexieiem is blogosphere.

Blogging effecting business? I suspect there's plenty that are, but most likely are not any of mine.
Oh, and, thanks for linking my book review blog. I'll propbably post some reviews on Amazon if I ever join. (I don't actually think it's the cheap, but I'm going to have to join, the book store doesn't stock the books I read!)
Regarding the comment from ghjk above, it's obviously very cheap spam promoting World of Warcraft, a multiplayer online role-playing game often referred to as WoW.
If you try to access ghjk's Blogger Profile, you'll get the following message: The Blogger Profile you requested cannot be displayed. Many Blogger users have not yet elected to publicly share their Profile. For this reason, I'll call the comment cheap spam, though the one in my link is far wittier.
And if you wonder what ghjk means, the definition from Urban Dictionary probably says it best.
There are a number of feckwits who have decided to comment on this old post, though who knows why.
Most have to do with Shaiya gold, a component of the Shaiya game,created by Sonov Entertainment. Click on any of the links that follow and proceed at your own risk, if you must.
