Forbes on Fending off Bloggers
The cover story on Forbes is fed by blog fear, a sort of the dark side of the Internet focusing only on blogs and bloggers. In “Attack of the Blogs,” the author, Daniel Lyons offers advice on how to counterattack bloggers that are causing your company troubles.
Should businesses fear blogs and bloggers? Are Lyons’ examples convincing and applicable to various companies and to journalism? Would you make the same recommendations?
Dan Gillmor, on his blog, and his readers, in comments to Gillmor’s posting, have their ideas.
Doc Searls talks about the Forbes story on his blog. He is friendlier than Gillmor. Well, somewhat.
BoingBoing’s Xeni and her readers comment.
UPDATE: Ed Cone who must watch every opinion show on TV notices that Forbes on Fox commentators don’t share the same viewpoint as blog-fearing (or blog-fear-mongering) author Daniel Lyons.
Let’s hear yours.
