UPDATE on Blogging!

Hey - I don’t know about you - but it’s Saturday, and we can’t just always talk about the business of blogging, now can we? There has to be some chatter on the sheer entertainment value of blogging - right?

Ok - well - let’s first get down to how people are marketing with business blogs - and then I’ll give you a very cool entertainment break to reward your learning efforts.

But we warned! When you read more in this post… you’ll read about some seriously hypnotic shows out there. But heck - it’s Saturday - you deserve to go down the rabbit trail and get a few laughs in the process!

Blogging goes bigtime at Sundance - and gains the attention of Yahoo and AOL while taking on the big boys: Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.

Blogging has now permeated every part of American culture. From the news (political bloggers) to the arts (movie goers) it’s undeniable that blogging is serious business.

“As blogs become more successful, they are challenging traditional media, and this year’s Sundance marks a fascinating juncture as newly powerful blogs like Cinematical.com take on the likes of the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.”

Hollywood has just discovered how to put word-of-mouth marketing for movies - on steroids - with blogging! They know their buzz will be louder than ever as they have top bloggers in their industry giving movie goers all over the world the scoop - real time - and faster than traditional main stream media can even try and compete with.

The originial genius behind the idea of bringing blogs into the cinematic world was Jason Calacanis, founder of Weblogs Inc. who persuaded the festival to let him blog about the festival, and the movies he viewed, giving his readers LIVE coverage - from inside the movie theatre.

Now THAT’S instant buzz!
And for those of you business bloggers wondering what the arts have to do with the business of blogging, and marketing with business blogs - check out these cool facts for yourself:

2005 was the year Weblogs morphed BloggingSundance into Cinematical.com, a community blog for movie fans and gets over 50,000 hits a day - and is increasing in numbers every day.

Enter - the big boys… (if you still need convincing that blogging is indeed serious business) AOL bought Weblogs and its 80 blogs in October, 2005 for a reported $25 million!

Did anyone say, “Make money with blogging“? If you pay attention to what’s going on all around you; what’s hot, what’s not - you’ll see the opportunities alllllll around you.

Speaking of what’s hot, and blogging about what’s happening in the entertainment industry… on to more serious topics…

All this research on movies, films, entertainment and the media… had me thinking - there’s GOT to be a blog on Jack Bauer, and the most popular (and addictive) TV show on the network!

Annnnnd… for all you 24 fans …
(Boop-beep, Boop-beep, Boop-beep)
you’ll be happy to hear …
(Boop-beep, Boop-beep, Boop-beep)
There IS!

And if the creator of this blog counts his cards right, he’ll be the next guy to make a huge profit from his blog on Bauer. However, right now, it seems like sheer entertainment! Hooorah!

Note: While I have yet to discover the real name of this ingenius creator of the Blogs 4 Bauer blog … as he’s running more of a community blog site, where 24 enthusiasts all put their two cents in; I have discovered he’s a Yale graduate, and has a few other blogs on blogger.

(Hmmm… I think we have to connect with him to turn him on to create a WordPress blog. Maybe even a membership site - in order to ensure the conspiracy theories don’t get revealed to non-24 enthusaists. Out of respect for the late President Palmer. Perhaps he’d still be alive, if some blogger wasn’t blogging about his whearabouts at the top of the season’s first 5 minutes!)

Go ahead - give yourself a humor break - check out the Jack Bauer 24 blog, and post your comments here if you too are another 24 addict - so I know I’m not alone.

(BTW: There is MUCH to be learned about the hypnotic positioning of the show for any internet marketer who is responsible for creating sales copy.)

16 hours and 7 minutes to go to the next show!
