Best Blog Reading – 7.31.09

My favorite blog articles that I read today, Friday, July 31, 2009:

1. Want To Co-Write On CakeJournal? by CakeJournal. Do you have a desire to write about baking but do not have a blog of your own? CakeJournal has an interesting idea of looking for a co-writer, as the writer of that blog does not have enough time to post as often as she would like. Posts are volunteer at this point but credit will be given to the author. This is an interesting idea that I had not come across and might be a good idea for someone wanting to try blogging without a full commitment of their own blog. I will be interested to see how this plays out!

2. Will It Blend? iPhone by Blendtec. Anyone who has read Seth Godin or David Meerman Scott’s work likely has heard of Blendtec. They have used this company as a shining example of how to implement new marketing techniques. For some reason I had heard about these cool videos over and over again, but never watched one. Finally I had watched the iPhone one – very cool!

3. Bad PR Pitch #7132: From Baskin Robbins? by The Business Blog At Intuitive.com. One of the things I love about this blog is Dave Taylor’s sense of humor. He literally posts the best bad correspondence he receives from companies. I love the irony of this one!
