Occasionally, a blog stands out to me as being a little bit extra special and when it does, I think it deserves a special mention.
Today, the blog I highly recommend you take a look at is ChrisBrogan.com.
Who is Chris Brogan?
The full answer is here.
However, as a marketing specialist, I’m recommending his blog to you because of his use of Social Media as a powerful form of marketing!
Social media is an effective way for people, businesses and organizations to connect and build relationships.
In fact, I used social media exclusively, to develop jimsmarketingblog.com
If you are new to social media, ChrisBrogan.com contains great ideas, tips and insights into the possibilities social media holds for your business or organization. Chris is also a gifted writer, so I am sure you will find yourself entertained as well as informed!
You can also catch up with Chris via Twitter. His username is @chrisbrogan

Jim and Chris are definitely two of the best resources and personalities in social media.
Thanks again to both of you for your efforts.

Susan,
You are very welcome!
Mark,
Thanks for your kind words – Chris certainly helps a lot of people with his work.
Pascal,
You ‘might’ need to be from London to appreciate the irony of that statement!
I live in Lancashire and it must show!
Jim, great post and shout out for Chris Brogan.
I have learned so much from Chris over the last few months.
Now I must also say Jim that you are becoming quite the resource and mentor to many folks as well… including me!

Pascal,
Nice one – Thanks for the comment!
Igobydoc,
I’ve been doing this for 22 years and it’s great to know that new people are benefiting from my work, via the blog.
Jim. This is so typical of you giving a post over to promoting another person and their work.
I am about to start blogging myself and will set my first post aside to thank you for all the help YOU have been.
Thanks for another superb recommendation Jim.
Andrea,
One of the big myths of successful blogging, is that you will LOSE readers if you mention other great blogs or websites.
The truth is the exact opposite.
If you look at many of the most popular blogs, they frequently link out to useful content.
A good example of this is Robert Scoble’s blog http://scobleizer.com which is always pointing people to great content.
I highly recommend reading Chris Brogan’s blog. He goes into a lot of detail in his blogs and gives you a wonderful insight that will help you with your social media and blogging.
The blogs about “Bob” made me horribly angry. I hate the corporate attitudes that are shoved down all of our throats. Its why I am trying to work for myself and hopefully get out from under the corporate machine.

Sandy,
You are absolutely right, there’s lots of great information there.
Cliff,
I’m guessing you must dislike this blog too – as it’s also a blog to help businesses succeed; though I focus on small businesses.
Diane,
Isn’t Daren’s blog great?? I told him so yesterday – thanks for the share!
I am always in favor of customer service and customer interaction, but I also understand that corporations have policies and procedures that must be adhered to if you want to continue to depend on them for your income. That’s why I left the corporate world to build something for myself.
Susan,
Good for you!
The Brogan blog is excellent. Thank you.
BTW, the comment block shows “URl” which looks like a template error.
I really enjoy Chris Brogan’s blog and his twitter comments (tweets). Your blog is full of good info also Jim. Keep up the good work.
Kind regards,
Mark Nolan

Just wanted to let you know I subscribe to Jim’s Marketing blog too, Jim, via Google Reader! Thanks for a great blog! And I wouldn’t have found you if it wasn’t for Twitter! It’s a new medium to me and I love it!
Just read this blog about Chris. I so agree. He is straight forward and some how still has time to to help the little guy. It was Chris who connected me to Glenda Watson Hyatt and several others. Jim, you are so great in your help and promotion of people. That’s why I’m here.
Thanks for the kind words Claudia.
Chris certainly is an extremely helpful person. The limited encounters I have had with him have been 100% positive.
