Karen E. Klein is a Los Angeles-based writer who covers entrepreneurship and small-business issues “Does Your Small Business Need a Blog”?

It’s a good summary of what blogging is, where it is at, and why you should do it.

In Australia Formula 1 races are screened at around 10.30pm on Sunday evening. That means about 1am to bed which is not the best start to the week. Was great to spot that Felipe Massa blogs about his race experience.

It is also great marketing for Ferrari. The blog is called “The Prancing Horse”

Sharp USA, maker and distributor of barber supplies, now has a blog on its Web site. It seems right now companies are about 50/50 when it comes to using the whole “blog” concept. For every company that understands how the blogosphere works and responds to things, there’s just as many companies that have no clue at all and end up creating so-called blogs which look as if they were created by someone who thinks words on a Web page instantly equals “blog.” Therefore, it’s nice to see Sharp doing it the right way. Yes, it’s very clearly part of Sharp’s site, there’s no effort made to hide that, but the entries all have to do with hair and barbering, even if it’s not directly related to Sharp. I can’t say I’ll be visiting the blog all that often, but it has a cool sense of humor and irrerverence that’s worth checking out at least once. I don’t know where else you’d find a link to a picture of Chewbacca getting a haircut.
