How Much Worth Is Your Blog ?
A good friend of mine forwarded to me not long ago an interesting link that I thought I would share over here in my weblog to put things under perspective. So here it goes. If you go to the following web site: How Much Is My Blog Worth? and then enter a URL over there that you would want to know its worth, like your weblog URL, for instance. And then click on Submit. You will right after be able to get some results returned over to you that would indicate how much your weblog is worth. Interesting, huh ?
Yes, indeed, so I tried it out and according to that URL my weblog is worth
My blog is worth $1,693.62.
How much is your blog worth?
Which I guess it is not too bad considering that I haven’t been weblogging for an extensive period of time over here, in elsua. Thus, I am wondering what it would be like in say about six months now from or next year around this time. I bet that it will be up a bit. The good thing is that according to that site it will not depend on me, but on you, my weblog readers who might link back to me, or not. We will have to wait and see how it will shape up further but for now you may want to have a look and check how much worth your weblog is. See if the work you are putting together on a more or less regular basis does pay off in the end.
Oh, and if you want to see some astronomic figures about how beneficial weblogging could be to you, check out how much worth BoingBoing, Micropersuasion and Scobleizer are. Mind-blowing ! But fun !
IBM and Podcasting

Over at Jean-Francois‘ weblog, one of my IBM colleagues, you will be able to read one interesting post he has shared recently commenting on an article published in ZDNET News: Big Blue dives into podcast waters. Good read, indeed ! And like Jean-Francois just emphasises over there, IBM has recently embarked very strongly into one other technology that seems to have taken the Internet by storm for quite some time now: Podcasting.
Indeed, you have already noticed how I have been weblogging about the different podcasts that IBM has been sponsoring over at the IBM Investors web site. Well, now the difference is that for a couple of weeks IBMers have got the opportunity to create their own podcasts and share them with the rest of IBM employees on the Intranet. And as it is mentioned as well on the ZDNET news article:
“IBM also is providing its employees with software and information that will allow them to easily create their own podcasts.”
So as you can see we got it all working out and by the looks of it quite successfully. Now you may be wondering if I have actually dived in and created my own podcasting service. And the quick answer is “Yes, I have” although I am still deciding what the content would be about; the frequency of the podcasts and, most importantly, if I am going to be sharing them as well here in elsua or not. I think that for the time being I will just keep them internal, and see how it would go for a few months. Then at a later time I may eventually dive in and go external. But, like someone I know would say, one step at a time. No rush.
