Wired Magazine on Blogging

Wired Magazine

When you get your March 2007 copy of Wired Magazine, give the cover story a read. It’s how blogging is changing the face of business. The entire reason why I started this blog (and my blogcasts) almost three years ago was to have a conversation about gaming and Xbox.

What do you think of blogging? What companies do you wish would ‘join the conversation’ ?

Also, check out the separate story (in the same issue) about our friends over Channel 9, (and don’t miss my guest appearance in there as well as the rather dramatic ending.)

Don’t care for the analogue nature that is print? Wired has it all online.

Your blog is really the only one I read.

I love that chick on the cover.  She is really funny on the office.  I saw a different cover that was much nicer though :)

Oooh Major you sound so smart when you say 'analog'. Too bad you spell it the icky way! ;)

How come you didn't tell your little blog buddies about your video interview over on Xbox.com?

Perfect summary of all Larry does. Although I wouldn't call 'Major Nelson' a pen name, it's more of a legend now.

Well Trixie, I watched the video and that's all that counts.

Blogs like your own Larry go a long way to forward communication between gamers and the company who we (the gamers) purchased the machine from.  I guess in all my gaming history on the internet I would say that your blog is vital due to the very nature of its interaction.  So yes, blogs are important but only when done on a totally interactive state like your blog.

Who I would like to see have a blog?  I guess that one is simple.  World leaders like Bush, Blair, Putin and even leaders of the likes of Iran.  I think politics would completely change if interaction with the actual people these leaders actually lead could take place via blogs.

I told Major to put a link to that video, but I think hes too embarrassed about the " Analog nature" of his non existence of "Underwear attire" :O

I have to side with Striker on this issue.  I would love Sony to have a similiar thing going for them like you do for Xbox.  I am a die-hard 360 owner and have had nothing but good experencies thus far, but I am not afraid to admit that Playstation Home looks interesting.

Oh, and I saw a link to the interview Trixie is refering to and I plan on watching it now.  Thanks for the heads up Trixie.  And as always thanks to Major for the terrific job he does here.

trixie, trixie, trixie...

You know, the "respecting girl gamers" message doesn't sink in so well when you refer to us as "little blog buddies" *sigh*

Do you want me to start using cute but patronising terms for the Gamer Chix?
