Ignore bloggers at your peril, say researchersPosted by hugh macleod at April 19, 2006 9:27 AM | TrackBack· Online pundits 'influence businesses and opinion'
· Companies are falling foul of negative net buzzBloggers and internet pundits are exerting a "disproportionately large influence" on society, according to a report by a technology research company. Its study suggests that although "active" web users make up only a small proportion of Europe's online population, they are increasingly dominating public conversations and creating business trends.
Not so surprising. Bloggers are, by definition, the ones having the conversations. Blogs ARE the public conversations. To ignore bloggers is to ignore the public. People just aren't used to the public having a voice.
