The Evolution of Blogs as Business and Marketing Tools

We will discuss “old school” thinking as it applies to blogging versus the new school of thought that blogs can be used as one component of a strategic marketing plan. Other topics will include the advantages of using blogs as marcom [marketing communication] tools, and the benefits businesses can accrue by virtue of using this medium, as well as the business of blogging and how people are actually accruing income via blogs. In what ways blogging is progressing as a profession or career path.
