Business Big Shots Blog

And, of course, the Boston Globe will take notice!!!

Truth is, their SELECTIVE IGNORANCE or OUTRIGHT CENSORSHIP of so much of what is out here (the blogosphere), destroys any credibilty they might have had on this topic (just like every other item).


"For some Harvard professors, the blogosphere is new terrain" by Robert Weisman, Globe Columnist | August 17, 2008

CEOs blog. So do baseball and tennis players. Not to mention magicians, comedians, rappers, supermodels, and wrestlers.

9/11 Truthers?

So why not Harvard Business School professors?

So why?

While tens of millions of Americans in other fields have joined in the din of the blogosphere, buttoned-down faculty members at the nation's most prestigious business school have watched from the sidelines, content to dispense their management wisdom in the classroom, case studies, or peer-reviewed academic papers.

Yup, I JOINED to VOICE my OUTRAGE at SO MANY THINGS, the LIES MOST of ALL!!! And because there was really nothing else to do!

I'd done the protesting, the letter-writing, the calls-to-Congress, all of it.And NOTHING has changed regarding the MSM press in TWO YEARS!!

In fact, they have gotten even worse!!!

Not anymore. Several business professors at Harvard have jumped into the Internet fray recently, opting for immediacy over considered analysis and wrestling with some of the passions and anonymous sniping that are the daily bread of cyberspace. All insist they are experimenting on the new frontier of idea dissemination and reaching out to a wider audience beyond the ivory tower.

"It feels much freer to write a blog," said Nancy F. Koehn, an HBS professor of business administration and one of those who recently took the plunge.

There is a certain affirmation in it, yes.

The subject matter sucks, but the TRUTH-TELLING by BLOGS is VITAL!!!!

Oh, and those blogs are NOT the place to go!!

You are already where you need to be reading this one!!!

:-)


Here is why you should avoid the business blogs
:

"When you travel the internet to various forums and chat rooms you find that trivia is the main subject of conversation. It is trivia that occupies the mind of most people. You find that many of these people are professionals in some line of work. They are not all gamers and ordinary nitwits for whom nothing beyond the trivial is possible. Some of these people have expensive educations and yet, their conversations are about the most superficial and banal of subjects. Take a look at the subject matter and quality of conversation at this forum which calls itself The Best of the Fray. The majority of the posters here are college educated. Consider the level of exchange. It is an embarrassment to the human race. --source--"

I do and it is.
