Dear Joachim


About one year ago Loic and I talked to you about weblogs. You told us you didn't believe in weblogs. Loic asked you if he could quote you on that. You agreed.

I am glad to see that 13 months later, you have changed your mind. Welcome to the wonderful world of weblogs.

Comments to this weblog entry:

From Joachims iBusiness e-mail newsletter (but available here)

"Selbstreferenzierende Blogs
Weblogs sind das beste, was der Welt seit der Abschaffung der Salzdüngung passiert ist. (...)

Die Studie, die wir heute für Sie ausgegraben haben, wiederlegt diese von Weblog-Propheten, Blog-Consultants und RSS-Evangelisten so weit verbreitete Irrlehre: Weblogs werden zwar gelesen (von wie vielen Menschen, ist allerdings auch unklar). Allerdings wird sie genau so gelesen, wie jede andere Webseite auch.

Marketer und Internet-Dienstleister, die Weblogs installieren dürfen sich nicht auf die (RSS-)Technik verlassen, sondern sollten stets empfehlen, eine ganz klassische Newsletter zur Promotion aufzusetzen.

Es sei denn, die Zielgruppe sind andere Blogger. Dann funktioniert RSS als EMail-Ersatz natürlich..."

It looks like you haven't quite finished job of convertimg him ... he still thinks blogs are "just " websites.
