Welcome to the Monkee-Boy Blog
You may well ask, with the saturation of blogs out there – enough to require the creation of a new term to encompass them all (blogosphere) – why do we need to add yet another?
Great question! Blogging has literally exploded on the scene in the past few years, evolving from virtual personal journals to powerful players in such areas as news reporting (especially political news reporting) and information exchange. In the past year or so, blogging has steadily crept its way into mainstream business operations, adding an exciting new component to the way companies interact with their customers, and the public at large.
As with many new technologies, successful employment of blogging has been spotty. For every interesting or useful blog, there are a plethora of useless ones. As people begin to experiment, use and then rely upon technology, lessons are learned (hopefully!) and best practices are developed. We’ll attempt to demystify some of the terminology and help you make sound decisions, with posts such as our “5 Rules to Live By in the Blogosphere“.
Everyone here at Monkee-Boy participates in some sort of blog, whether as author, contributor or just subscriber, and the range of subjects is large and varied. We’ve logged enough hours in these endeavors to formulate some fairly basic “rules of thumb” to consider when trying to decide if blogging can truly add value to your web operations, and your business success overall.
So why a Monkee-Boy blog? We’re jumping into the fray to offer our customers and friends a resource to help them navigate the tricky waters of Web 2.0. We know you trust us to build engaging and effective web sites, to develop sound, measurable marketing programs, and now we’d like to make sure that we offer you the opportunity to discuss with us whatever is on your mind. We hope you’ll find our blog a useful resource for information and exchange of ideas, and that you’ll comment frequently. Don’t hold back! We want to hear what you’re thinking.
We’ll also publish articles about our work in the community, as it’s very important to us, and we think it helps define us as a company. We’ll also post about interesting things we see or experience related to our core competencies, such as web development and design, marketing and social media, intending to make sure our customers are kept aware of not only the most recent developments in these constantly-evolving fields, but also have access to our opinions about how best to employ them, if at all.
We hope that The Right Click becomes a part of your regular readership, and that you engage us with your comments and questions regularly. We’re encouraging you to speak to us and our readers in order to gain the most information you can as you look to employ your online resources to the best of their abilities.
So what are you waiting for?
