I think Beachmap is AWESOME! great idea, where everyone can contribute --

an excellent application for wiki technology if there ever was one!

when I first heard about this several weeks ago, I added a beach in Duluth, MN --

Park Point -- where a lot of surfing takes place (including the annual Cold Water

Surf Fest last week), and I see someone else added another beach on Lake Superior

after I did....but there are lots more that could still be added, especially on the

lake's North Shore, where the biggest/best surf spots are located...

by the way, did you know legendary waterman Tom Blake was raised in northern

Wisconsin, on the south shore of Lake Superior? that's where he learned his love

of the water, and first ventured out on a long paddleboard.....before he went on

to Hawaii and made such an impact on the sport of surfing back in the '30s,

'40s, and '50s

cheers,

Seth, I think there are different reasons for *established* small businesses to blog vs. startups, and I suspect your panel was focused on the former. For established firms, reasons for blogging vary hugely depending on what business or market you're in, your position in it, competitive landscape, etc, your marketing strategy, who your audience is and their online usage, and, especially, the passion and dedication of the people who will blog in your firm, and their commitment to it ongoing.

cheers,

Graeme
