For those of you who may just be visiting The Tinbasher after reading the piece in The Guardian about Web 2.0 and small business, you can find a few more examples of UK business blogs here. You may find something that strikes more of a chord with you elsewhere.
I also suggest you go and check Pajama Market out for worldwide examples of business blogs as the guy who runs it, Brian, tries his darndest to do a small business blog of the day review – God help him! If he’d tried doing that for UK small business blogs he wouldn’t have lasted a fortnight.
Anyway, considering I had no idea what The Guardian article’s focus was (I only knew he was interviewing me about blogs), it came as a pleasant surprise that it’s related to Web2.0 applications and small business. Especially considering I was locked in an hour-long Skype negotiation regarding writing a blog about the very same thing yesterday for a fairly big blog network.
Would you be interested about having this kind of stuff explained, tested and utilised with regards to a DIY small business web presence in a quirky, practical and humorous manner? We’d be talking about showing you case studies of those who have been successful and cutting the real wheat from the chaff without anybody having to spend a penny on consultants or coffee morning conferences.
I welcome your thoughts.

Yes separate the Web 2.0 wheat from the chaff for us little dinky winks.
I got yr Web 2.0 right here: blog comments. Interactivity. It won’t get much more fancy than that.
Now thanks to the marvel of RSS/Atom, I have Vampire Blogs sucking my content, feeding off my post titles, blogs with such illustrious names as Real estate loans, Dish network tv, Archive chart music, 3d game arcade, Top online surveys, and New hire.
How’s yr Web 2.0 Swicki doing? Fully trained?
I got an invite to attend the big Web 2.0 Conference. Hope I can go this year. Will report my findings to one and all with great glee and vim.
Which submit button should I click? Submit? or Submit comment?

Hope you can get to the conference mate, then we will get a no bullshit report.
I gave up on the Swicki it’s bugged to hell, nice idea but a lot of hard work for a search engine that standard google beats by a mile.
Don’t forget to let me know your emmigration date so we can set up meet for a little drink or three, maybe we can have one at shooters!

I love finding my dopey content being regurgitated by even dopier splog owners.
Where would we stand on suddenly changing our creative commons licenses and suing their asses?
It’s turned into the last days of Pompei round here Mr. Sawford. I’m looking at some time in August. Maybe we should have our own Lancs/Yorks Manufacturing Blog Conference. If we play it canny some knob will give us a load of free booze and a hotel is bound to sponsor it.
