My friend Stephen is a candidate for blogging. As is my friend Allan. Same definitely goes for the guy I get wine off of in Bubble Brothers, as I mentioned previously. How many people do we know who are passionate? Why not make a list and have our own tupperware conversion party every few months to try and convert them? The Cult of the Blog O’Sphere. Why am I thinking about that Simpsons episode where they converted Homer by going “ne ne ne ne ne LEA-DER”?

I was trying to make <a href="http://conoroneill.com/2005/12/12/irish-food-producers-and-the-cluetrain-manifesto/" rel="nofollow">the same point about small food producers</a> recently. For very little effort, many of these companies could set themselves up on blogspot or wordpress.com and start talking about what interests them. I think the equivalent paper model for Bubble Brothers would be the Oddbins newletter which always used make me feel like I was "in" on a secret club. Everyone wants to be in some club. Posting on wordpress would be a damn sight cheaper than mailing a newsletter every month. 100% agree with you on the need for blogs like that.
