Kudos to the always clever Eric Kintz over at HP for his creative blog entry (and illustration at left), rounding up pronouncements about blogging from a handful of marketing experts: blogging vs. PR vs. corporate communications (adversaries or peacefully coexisting?); the new blogger influencers at the end of The Long Tail; the blogosphere is beginning to be a "must" in integrated marketing; customer "intimacy" (a blog) vs. your 1-800 number (is there a disconnect?); etc.
I shouldn't be a bad sport but I can't help but be a bit annoyed that his little "club" of experts is all male. Eric, uh, the blogosphere (and even the corporate blogosphere) is a very multi- place. Multi-opinion, multi-perspective, multi-nationality, multi-gender. Too bad that wasn't reflected in your entry, Why Blogging Matters.

Great point, Debbie, sounds like a glaring gap now that you mention it. As offered on my blog, if you want to write something, I will include it as a follow up post.

Debbie, if it makes you feel better, I have multiple personalities…
;)
BTW, It’s Eric Kintz not Kuntz. Though Kuntz does sound kind of cool.
Seriously, thanks for reading. I suspect Eric didn’t give it a second thought when he put the idea together. None of us did. But a good idea for the next time around…

Yes, his group is mostly male, but look at your CEO blog list on the right-hand side. I see only 3 women there out of about 57 blogs. Where are all the women out in business blog-land? If we’re supposed to be better at English and writing than our male counterparts, we sure aren’t showing our numbers. I can’t wait for the day when your list is at least 50/50 male to female or more. Let’s hope all of us can inspire more women business-owners to share their knowledge with others.
