The Blogosphere Celebrates Halloween

It’s important to network and link with other bloggers. On a regular basis, I review others’ blogs to try to find a common theme that brings us together. Today is a great day for sharing the treat that is a favorite topic–it’s Halloween after all. Check out the following blogs:

Michael Stelzner shares some Marketing Halloween Lessons and Diva Marketing Blog has a Lancome theme. Halley’s Comment has a daring photo and Church of the Customer has the cutest dog all dressed up. Guy Kawasaki is hosting a contest.

Blogging is getting more and more attention. I feel fortunate to live in a city where such great, innovative ideas start and I’m excited to be attending the San Francisco Business Blogging Summit  presented by a very cool San Francisco Company, Six Apart, who are founders of Moveable Type and Vox. They are committed to getting everyone blogging.

Amy Kahran and Justin Crawford did a recent talk on blogging. They discussed a couple of statistics from the July, 2006, Pew Internet & American Life Project telephone survey:

• 12 million American adults write blogs
• 57 million American adults read them (78% increase from the year before)
