Went on Radio 5 Live’s “Wake Up to Money” very early this morning to talk blogs with Mickey Clark and Andy Verity ahead of today’s Blogging4Business.
It all went rather well I thought but the listener feedback that came through on text straight away afterwards was a bit deflating. Two text messages were read out as I finished my interview:
“Blogging is for egomaniacs” was the gist of the first one.
Ouch. Then the second…
“The b in blog stands for boring, Mickey…”
Oof.
Egomaniacs? Bloggers?
Don’t they know who I am?
Boring? Bloggers?
Oh I received seven inbound links this morning.
;-)
Is it up online yet?
Ha ha – excellent, Stephen…
Not sure when it will be online – this morning I would imagine as it is podcast daily…
Once upon a time you could walk out of a radio studio feeling good about an interview – whilst your mum and other friends would tell you how marvellously you did. Now, you get instant feedback…
Head down, press on. We all know we’re changing the world :) Aren’t we?
Wankers!
Ooops am I allowed to say that under the blogging code of ethics?
;-)
I’m expecting Euan to be arrested by the Blog Thought Police any second…
I helped launch the Pods and Blogs programme on 5Live, and for the first few, texts like these were a pretty constant refrain.
I wonder how many of these text messages are simply misquoting journalists in their views about blogs. ;)
Or directly quoting :-)
