and Todd – your customers need a reason to drop a grand on furniture. Danny and Tracey – little things grow. Fred – it showcases your music. Sangeetha – it gives us Fred anecdotes Sean – it needs to be said. Besides, you travel a lot. Michael – Read. Then write. Amy – it gives us Michael anecdotes. Old Friends – I Google you, but where are you? New Friends – I can’t wait to meet you.

Mañana doy en Valencia una sesión sobre Los Blogs en la Comunicación Institucional, dentro del Master en DirCom y Nuevas Tecnologías de la Fundación COSO. Aquí dejo algunos materiales de apoyo para la clase: – Chris Pirillo: The Blogger´s Manifesto. – Locke, Weinberger, Searls: The Cluetrain Manifesto [en español]. – Fundación Orange: La Blogosfera hispana. Pioneros de la cultura digital. – Razón y Palabra: “Las empresas y la conversación…”

bloody blog and I take full responsibility and publishing autonomy here – so you know what? If Burning Man and its community focus with the radical creative self expression is all going hell, then I still can appeal to the freedom of blogging and theBlogger Manifestowhich, at point 4 states that “If you don’t like what you see go somewhere else”, reinforced by the statements at point 11 “I share what I want to share” and point 9 “You don’t have to agree with everything I say”, and the final cherry on the pie with

2. Lee los Diez consejos para una bitácora mejor de Rebecca Blood 3. Lee el Decálogo para nuevos bloguers en La revolución de los blogs (pp. 51-59, también recogidos al final de esta conferencia). DelThe Blogger´s Manifiestome quedo con estos dos: I am not the best blogger on the planet. I don’t have to explain myself to you. De los Diez consejos para una bitácora mejor con estos dos: 5. Escribe acerca de lo que amas. Una bitácora es el lugar para opiniones

pač kakor komu paše! Jasno, dokler s tem ne škodijo komu drugemu. Kakšna je torej definciija pravega bloga ali blogerja? Zelo zmuzljiva je in zelo različna. Kot smo različni ljudje. Chris Pirillo je že pred davnimi petimi leti objavil The Blogger’s Manifesto, (krajše TBM), njegove točke so naslednje (oprostite, res se mi ne da prevajat, pa saj je easy reading): Life is uncensored. My blog does not capture the full me. Judge my thoughts, but not me. If you don

Cinco añitos tiene ya estadeclaración de intencioneshecha por Chris Pirillo, pero por lo que a mí respecta sigue tan vigente como el día en que se escribió: 1. Life is uncensored. 2. My blog does not capture the full me. # 3. Judge my thoughts, but not me. #

therapeutic.
good. i think i'll start one of my own.
love the site. love the idea.
love the script at the bottom.

Preach on!

People who have a problem with it, shouldn't read it. If they're offended they can stop, it's not like they're paying for it or soemone's making them read it. In the good ol' days of the 'net people were happy with anything they ran accross, we are sharing with the world they choose to read.

I agree with everything, basically, except number 16. There's no way in God's green earth that I will ever admit to having a life outside of blogging.

LOL! I love your term “egosurf”!! :D

You tell 'em Chris. It's your page anyway so if they don't like it then they can go somewhere else. Keep up the good work!!!

*reiterates what's already been said*

I couldn't agree more man, I have trouble with people flaming my blog and putting negitive Karma votes on the Sarah Lane fansite I run. People can be asses. Keep on rockin on!!

Chris, one thing I like the most about you is that despite the boom in your career, you've always been the same Chris Pirillo. Your Lockergnome emails have the same corny puns that I've grown to enjoy over the years. Your pizza video was hysterical, and I remember thinking that some of your “fans” might take offense. But those would be the fans who are fans of what you say, not who you are. I'm a big fan of the whole Pirillo bundle, so keep on rockin'.

Chris: For what it is worth, keep on doing exactly what you doing. The throngs of folks who appreciate and respect what you are doing vastly outnumber those feeble minded twits (oops, I am judging them..aww who cares)
Keep it up!

where do i sign?

In prompt answer to the above, Chris made the Bloggers Manifesto Signatory Blogsticker. Tres cool.
I think I'm the second signatory to have it on my blog(s).
gary

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy-men!!!!!

Adverse commentary is just the Internet Gods way of letting you know that you have readers, and that what you say has consequence.
I don't think I could blog. The manifesto is too tough. All that “like it or get out” stuff. Yikes. Modern relationships.
I might be able to write one for John Dvorak. Call it something like, “Oh, I'm da dang biggity bomb, baby.” You'd have to change the manifesto, tho, to include “Everything is crap”.

Perfection!!!
Yes! Chris, you give a lot. You have your limits. You play fair. Why should you take any crap! You are the “Guy With The White Hat!” And the good guy ALWAYS wins.
Oh, you don't like everything Chris does? There's a million sites out there. Be nice to yourself.. Don't suffer under the wrath of THE MIGHTY PIRILLO (j/k) for another minute! Find relief and freedom on the site that makers you happy.
In other words, GET LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the lamest thing I have ever heard. A manifesto, for crying out loud? “I've given something back to the blogging community.”? Here's a surprise for you: There is no blogging community. There's a bunch of prima donnas who stand around with other prima donnas patting each other on the back. Big whoop. Is that something to be proud of?

Love it. So true!

I agree 100%. I have know idea why this manifesto is not common sense to people that read blogs.
P.S. How do I put the Blogger sticker on my blog?

Lame? Hmmm. You obviously don't read Dan Quayle's blog.

Maybe there is 26. missing:
26. If someone closes his or her log, I have the decency and good manners to accept that and will not follow that person around in log entries, mails and comments to complain and analyze.
;-))
no, just kidding. Half a suggestion, so to say. Strange and sad that some flames things are international.

Thanks. I needed that. Honestly, thank you.

AAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY-MEN!

[...] Tip: Everybody’s blogging, right? So why not you? Recall what Herman Melville wrote, "We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results." A perfect description of blogging, don’t you think? The term Blog or Weblog started in 1999, and is defined in Webster’s dictionary as a “diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page.” More importantly, it says that blogs are “typically updated daily” and that “blogs often reflect the personality of the author.” For more, see “Why Blog?” and also note that Will Richardson, in Webogg-ed, shares multiple sources of why people blogin “Why Weblogs?”. Also, Richardson writes about “Blogging and RSS — the ‘What’s it?’ and ‘How To’ of Powerful New Web Tools for Educators.” In 2002 Chris Pirillo wrote “The Blogger’s Manifesto” that provides some of the ethos of blogging. Although they may not all apply today, here are the first seven: 1. Life is uncensored. 2. My blog does not capture the full me. 3. Judge my thoughts, but not me. 4. If you don’t like what you see, look elsewhere. 5. I love talking about my life. 6. I love writing about other people’s lives. 7. I will post whenever I feel like posting. First ask yourself why you want a blog. Check out the “Ten Tips for Building a Bionic Weblog” for some ideas. Remember: many people who write blogs are just like you and me — maybe not journalists but people who believe they have something to say. We may not even know that we could offend others or provide personal information. Also remember that this is the world WIDE Web, so don’t take what people write as personal toward you unless they write about you. In “Why Blog?”, LibraryPlanet wrote that any blog should be because you have something to say, not because you want attention. Next Tip: TBA [...]
