Blogs build business appeal

What's your blog?

There, I finally succumbed to the herd instinct and started my own blog. Although meaning, wanting, and waiting for the right time to start one, now that I have a blog, I can dump all my thoughts onto the Web and get criticized for something I actually believe and not what someone else said (a journo thing).

To be honest, I didn't start a blog solely to express my 'other' opinions on the industry, but to stimulate some healthy discussion about technology trends, applications, and marketing communications. But that's all 'tree falling in the forest' stuff if the community I covet, the IT management community, doesn't read my blog and participate in some commentary. So there's my next mission: to collate a list of IT manager blogs and facilitate some idea-sharing for the benefit of industry as a whole. It's not quite the CIO Council, but it does have a more 'everyday' appeal. Of course, we Computerworld journos will always lend an ear to an IT manager in despair but now that we're blogging, the whispers of vendor dissatisfaction will flow even more frequently. I await your URLs...
