The Power of Blogging

April 9, 2008

There is a lot of cool factor about running a popular blog. PCMech gets quite a bit of traffic and, yes, this gives me a soapbox. Every now and then it is nice to vent on that soapbox.

This morning I posted a story over at PCMech about an asshole contractor from Bright House who managed to take out all of my cable at my house - when he was working on the neighbor. The guy was a dick. No other way to put it.

But, what’s cool is that I was able to use the event as a blog story and the guy doesn’t know that he triggered a blog story to thousands of readers - all while the guy is still busy outside my house screwing with the cables.

That is one of the cool things about blogging. You can share your experience with the world and do so instantly. And that also makes the Internet a great resource for others looking for feedback on a company. Not that the dickhead in question here is normal for Bright House contractors (I expect it isn’t), but nobody would have known about it had he not messed with a blogger.

Anyway, just my thought of the minute.
