New Ideas in Web Marketing and a Correction

If you're into blogging (which obviously I am) or marketing (which I would like to pretend I am) or if you're just interested in what's going on with the Internet, you have to love Seth's Blog. He's just recently posted a new free eBook about his vision of the future of the Internet and provided some details of a new service called Squidoo which is based on some very exciting concepts.

The eBook is definitely worth a read, but I do want to point out that on page 15 of the book, he makes the following statement about the proliferation of blogging:

That’s why there are 80,000 new blogs every single day. That’s more blogs started every day than there are books published every year in the United States.

It's a staggering number of new blogs, to be sure, but it still falls short of the 195,000 new books published in 2004 as reported in my previous post about publishing.

The fact that there is just so much information being generated in the world each year, whether printed, online or in any other format does beg for the types of lenses that Seth describes in his book. Kudos to Seth on the idea and on Squidoo. I hope it works -- poking around the Internet is getting more and more tedious each day.

Comments

Times and marketing strategies are changing rapidly. Thanks to Seth for his new venture.
