A good thorough study of three blogs from an on-line jewellery store.

One is more successful than the others and its interesting to see how each one compares.

MarketingSherpa > Blog Marketing for Ecommerce Sites — 7 Rules & Lessons Learned

How many raving press stories have you seen on corporate blogging recently? We decided to take a look under the hood of one ecommerce site’s blogs that have gotten enormous press attention. Are they really as successful as everyone makes out? The answer is … a mixed maybe:

A sign of the times.

Penguin dips it’s toe in the blogging pool.
Liked their description of what the blog will be about.

“an editor will post the latest news from the company:
new acquisitions, sneak previews from works
in progress of some of Penguin’s best-loved
authors, industry gossip and advice on
how to get published”.

Which will be invaluable for many.

Eoin Purcell, from a small publishing house has been
active in this soace for a while.

Wonder what Eoin has to say about this?

The Penguin Blog

Penguin Books launches the first blog from a mainstream publisher on Monday 31st July. Having led the way in bringing publishing into the digital age with its award-winning podcasts, Penguin’s blog will be a destination where an editor will post the latest news from the company: new acquisitions, sneak previews from works in progress of some of Penguin’s best-loved authors, industry gossip and advice on how to get published.

In the middle of Alex Barnett’s blog entry on “Statcrunching” is the mention of Netvibes

Anything that grows at the rate that Alex has captured is worth looking at.
In terms of easily getting an overview of where my life is at I use ….

iCal on the Mac for calendar
Technorati for Bookmarks
Apple’s Dashboard for widgets etc
My Yahoo for RSS feeds
etc
etc

However with Netvibes I can integrate most of this in the one desk top.
Already, even after an hour I have …

1) Reorganised all my Bookmarks and have a nice bookmarks “cloud”
2) Have my eBay sales status ain a little box
3) Same page have both my Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts with unread mail
4) Also have del.i.cious bookmarks in a box as they are a lot of extra ones I have
5) Have set up four tabs for RSS feeds to cover blogging, publishing, technology and others
6) Have my calendar there also

and the good thing is if I go to another computer when I’m travelling or whatever the same screens will be there. What a time saver and a brilliant leading edge solution.

Once you have added a new “box” to the page you can specify how many entries you want shown and also move the box around so that if you want your mail on the left and search and eBay on the right it is easily achieved.

It’s a true drag and drop format.

It’s a bit strange when you first go to the home page of Netvibes because there are no instructions you just have to get started.

This is an excellent tool with lots of enhancements in the pipeline.
Here is a snapshot of some of my first page to give you an idea.

The Blog page is even better because what used to take several screens in MyYahoo RSS reader now takes one!

frustrated by the fragmented approach to discussing change,” Kohler
