Congrats to the Olympic Blog Vendors

Do You Have an Inspiring Weblog Story to Share?

I’m looking for your help again, dear reader. I have a presentation on Wednesday and I plan to tell some stories. I’m introducing weblogs to about 25 people in 30 minutes, some of which know blogs, others, not so much.

My point will be that weblogs and related tools are giving individuals a new kind of power- power that was not possible to achieve 5-10 years ago.
