What voices do you want to hear?
Monday, March 12, 2007
When we launched Opportunity Zone, we wanted to introduce new voices and perspectives to the discussion about our business.
And you're now hearing from different people with different ideas and different ways of expressing them.
There are others who are blogging in a "sandbox" -- a virtual environment where they can blog but where only a small group of people can view and comment on their work. It's a place where people can try blogging, test their "voices," and we can take a look at what they have to say and how they say it. We can see who has a distinctive voice and a compelling story to tell. It's a way to test the waters all the way around -- someone who might say they really want to blog and can't do more than an introductory post probably isn't going to be a an active and compelling blogger. Likewise, some people may start out with an idea but find they really can't sustain a conversation around it. If it isn't interesting them, then why would it interest anyone else?
There are some current ideas in the sandbox -- a blog where IBOs can share their stories and experiences, blogs focused around product categories like weight management or beauty and fashion.
But as we look at adding blogs to the Zone, what topics do you want to talk about? Who do you think you'd like to talk with?
I can guess some of the answers to these questions based on the comments of frequent posters to this blog but I'd like your ideas on feedback on where we take the Zone from here.
