What is a blog anyway?
As you might guess I make it a point to point all customers to the blog at the end of our calls (or chat or whatever). I am actually surprised at how many of our customers don't know what a blog is. So for those of you unsure. Here is the answer:
BLOG is short for Web-Log, basically it is an online journal. It can be on any subject and or run by any number of people.
A person who publishes on a blog is known as a Blogger.
The entire universe of blog posters is known as the Blogosphere
There are as many types of blogs as there are people. Our LightFrog blog is both a business blog (a blog run by a business to serve its customers) and a group blog (a blog where a group of people rather than a single).
You can set up your own free blog using a site called blogger
I will be updating this post on a regular basis to add more info.
UPDATE: 5/2/05
The Mudville Gazette posted this article on blogging that gives more detail than I do here about blogs and blogging in general.
The Mudville Gazette is a Milblog which is a blog by a member of the armed services. Several post directly from Iraq which for a history buff like me is incredible.

Virginia Postel links to her great article (membership required) about blogs and the reaction of the media to them at Forbes' website. Worth reading even though we don't make her blog list.
Hat tip Instapundit.

Blog Intro
I have been an avid reader of the HiWired blog but this is my first entry. My name is Troy Jackson and I am the Director of Marketing for HiWired. We have been debating something internally and I would love to see if there are any new/different/compelling/unique ideas from our bloggers:
Can you think of a technology support solution that consumers would be ecstatic to pay more than $1000 for? What would/could it be?
The crazier the idea the better!

Just thought I would say Hi to all the fellow bloggers here. Very exciting times for me. I'm going to be happily joining forces with HiWired soon and looking forward to my new home and friends here!
