If what you wanted was a checklist of "blogging dos and donts" why didn't you just google the phrase I've just quoted? Perhaps you wanted a rich set of case studies to put the checklist in context? Then again, perhaps not, because that's what Naked Conversations provides, and you didn't like it.

I don't think the intention of this book was to provide a "HOW TO BE A GOOD CORPORATE BLOGGER" but really to share and promote how companies and have open and authentic converations with their customers.

I don't think there is a specific list of Do's vs Don't that will apply to every single blogger in every single market (despite which country they are from)

This book explains Why, and what others have done, it's not intended as a rule book for business blogging --as none could really exist.

Either way, you're entitled to your opinion as much as I am!

You sound retarded. Are you? I mean you sound like the guy who says, "I hate her cooking" as he uses his bread to soak up the last spot of gravy.

You sound like a guy who likes cartoons and comic books and recipes for success.

If you're going to do a corporate blog, you'll need a lot more than Naked Conversations. I predict your corpo-blog will fail miserably.

Hey Mr. Programmer: bite me.

Long? Yes. I would say that's a sign of good research. They could give you a list of dos and don'ts, but then so could I, but you wouldn't buy my book. All that stuff backs up what they say, and occasionally contradicts, but that's good honest research.

Boring? Maybe.

Sorry you didn't much like the book. In fact Robert and I intended to write a "Why to," not a "how to" blog.  There are lots of really good how to books on blogging coming out.  Among them are efforts by Jeremy Wright, Shel Holtz and, very shortly, one by DL Byron and Steve Brobach.  You might try gving one of those a shot.
