John is wise as always. This remember me that I have already posponed enough a bio link on my weblog. In my opinion something is sourly missed is the possibility to publish also some private post or (better) post and stories.
Here is an interesting development. Recently, I have had business meetings with people that have weblogs. Usually, when you have a business meeting, there is a period of formality. There are introductions. You exchange business cards and personal histories. Basically, you spend the first 15 minutes trying to synch up.
The difference with people that have weblogs is:
1) We don't have to exchange business cards. [..]
2) By reading the weblog of the person I am about to meet with, I already know a lot about that person. Most importantly: I know how they think through reading their writings. [..]
3) I can write up the results of the meeting on my weblog and share it with a wider audience. [..]
I really didn't expect weblogs to change the way I met with people. This was a surprise. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
