Blogs: The Biggest Investment (the Biggest
ROI?)
Greater investment, greater divergence.
You have your individual bloggers holding

And, lest we forget, your collective blogs….

It may look like a collection of resources…
But it is very much a wiki….
Where the Real Action Is….
A Point of Pride
From us, by us, for us, but also to the world
Parting Shots/Thoughts We are used to a world where little things happen
for love and big things happen for money. Love
motivates people to bake and cake and money
motivates people to make an encyclopedia. Now
though, we can do big things for love. – Clay Shirky
Conversation is king. Content is just something to
talk about. – Cory Doctorow
