The Churchill Club presents an AlwaysOn Salon
Blogs are interlinked and meritocratic, seething with fierce debate and rivalries, but are they, as Vanity Fair recently described: “the best thing to hit journalism since the political pamphlet?” What cannot be denied is there are now millions of bloggers operating out in the blogsphere, the most powerful of whom are beginning to influencing markets and products, and therefore raising the eyebrows of marketing departments throughout Silicon Valley.
So-called “social networking” services such as the consumer-oriented Friendster, Google’s Orkut, and enterprise applications like Spoke, are also showing the potential to rock the marketing and media world. Benchmark, Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital are betting millions of dollars on this sector. Will they hit the jackpot or lose their shorts?
