Those pioneering folks (and yes they are explorers on a new voyage of discovery) who have started blogs have not only discovered an entirely new country.
They built the country from the ground up.
Starting as postings by technology experts, and adopted by the personal diary writers, blogs remained under the radar for awhile.
Then there was an explosion.
With the advent of cheap and free blogging platforms, that required little or no programming skills, blogs went supernova. Anyone could have a blog.
And did.
What was once the sole domain of the coding and technological, or the personal and diary writing, emerged as a multitude of different things. There are as many blogging types and styles, as there are writers.
There are now literally dozens and dozens of widely grouped categories in the growing number of internet blog directories.
These aren't your teenager's angst filled journalings any more.
Bloggers have created an entirely new communications vehicle. Whether the goal is marketing, public relations, expressing an opinion on a myriad of topics, or simply providing information, blogs are the innovation of the decade.
With the same drive that propels forward small business owners and entreprenurs, blogs are maintained and expanded on a daily basis. A quick check of the search engine rankings in Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, and Ask Jeeves will readily display the power of blogs, in those well known compilers of information requests.
The many innovative and creative ways that blogs are used for business, politics, and just about everything else imaginable, would fill a book. In fact, blogging has already filled several books.
Soon, that blogging book list will be a library in its own right, as more and more blog book titles are added.
Bloggers are already developing ways to tuen blogs into money making websites all by themselves. Other business people are using blogs to enhance their pwn business and professional websites.
The sky is literally the limit to the innovations and creative uses for blogs.
When I consider bloggers to be the ideal entrepreneurs, I think of this display of creativity and spirit of innovation.
Bloggers created an entire successful and skyrocketing industry.
Individuals and blogger partnerships can easily develop a number of successful businesses.
They already have.
