Does my opinion count?

07/09/05 @ 20:48

There is a interesting topic I have been meaning to talk about for some time and Jon Hick’s post Do I blog for profit, backhanders or Scotch Eggs? (did you see this post in Mint Jon? :-)). Talking of which, does my previous post does on Mint make you want it even more?

I find that the opinion of my internet peers and trusted bloggers counts a lot more than a review site, or and article I read in the paper. I am not entirely sure why I trust them more, maybe it’s because I know they don’t get paid to write what they are saying (in most cases), nor are they a big company where who ever wrote the article is someone I have know idea what they look like or their background information; as it can been seen in every bloggers about section.

I wonder if marketing firms will/have see the potential of the blogger and blogging networks in persuading people to buy things.

    When will local goverment realise that your average working “man” is sick to death of their concern for the whole wide world when they can’t even fix the problems on their own doorstep. If all groups went back to dealing with keeping their own doorstep clean the world would be a cleaner place. Something our grannies taught us that we seem to ignore.
