Stimulating Innovation

Over the past two years I've been really fascinated with blogging. For a non-programmer like me, the ability for anyone to share thoughts and experiences so inexpensively, quickly and broadly is a powerful concept. I decided to get my Starting It blog going a little over a year ago and have been having a lot of fun with it (although a real blogger would at least have several entries a week versus my once a month approach!). In my mind the elements associated with blogging - tagging, trackback, RSS, etc - all stimulate a ton of innovative business ideas. In fact, if you are interested in being an entrepreneur, this particular space is very exciting and full of incredible possibilities. To learn more about this emerging space and to start to stimulate your own innovative juices, check out this great essay on the topic (particletree.com/features/the-importance-of-rss). If you feel the way I do about "where marketing and the Internet collide", get ready for some goosebumps.
