I have been invited by my local Rotary club to present on blogs and the like – them being somewhat less than informed regarding blogs, apparently! – on 10th August 2006 at 7:30am. The club meets at the Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens (at the Lakeside restaurant near the planetarium) – they also apparently meet rather early in the morning.Â
The presentation overview is:
Introduction to Business BloggingÂ
This presentation will introduce and define the topic of ‘blogging’ – an online chronological diary of a publisher(s)’s thoughts and comments on a topic of common interest.Â
This tool has enormous implications for business communication – both internally within larger organisations and externally with clients – and so some potential business applications for blogging are introduced.Â
Finally, some practical ‘next steps’ on blogging and how you might dip your toe in the water with this new publishing phenomenon are explored. Handouts will be provided.Â
Micheal’s own blog is available at www.michealaxelsen.com.Â
It should be an interesting morning, with any luck, and I will be certainly interested to hear what Rotarians think of such things as blogs. I will post the presentation here first chance I get.Â
Eddie Fee – he of Rostrum fame – is the instigator of this, as Eddie is a member of my Rostrum speaking club (Club 17 – we meet at Indooroopilly Library every Wednesday at 7.30pm – except when State of Origin is on, apparently!) as well as of this Rotary club.Â
