Quote by Blogs Influence Consumer Purchases More than Social Networks

The number of those who read blogs at least once a month has grown 300% in the past four years, and what they read strongly influences their purchase decisions, playing a key role in ushering them to the point of actual purchase, according to a BuzzLogic-sponsored study, reports Retailer Daily. jupiter-buzzlogic-half-online-population-reads-blogs-october-2008.jpg “Harnessing the Power of Blogs,” a research study of more than 2,000 online consumers in the US, was conducted by JupiterResearch, a Forrester research company.

Backpackers Make Great Sperm Donors || Jaunted

Apparently since the laws changed and children conceived from donated sperm can look up Daddy once they turn 18, locals have gone off the idea. Backpackers figure they won’t be so easy to find in 18 years’ time. One third of sperm donors in Britain are now from abroad, including Australians, South Africans and Colombians. These sperm-donating travelers won’t get rich overnight but $750 for delivering 20, well, loads, is a much better deal than working late nights serving drunks at the pub.

PhoCusWright Bloggers Summit re-cap

PhocusWright 2008 is unfolding and after the culture shock of being in Hollywood has finally started to wear off, I am starting to get in the grove. I spoke on a panel of Bloggers yesterday, and usually when I do this we are speaking to an audience of non-bloggers trying to understand why and how we do it. The session was more than 90% full-time bloggers, and they came back for both sessions. This leads me to conclude one of two things; they were looking to connect with their Blogger comrades, or two, they were hoping that we might be the ones to translate what a blogger needs back to the marketing... Read more »
