A blog is usually personal opinion, while a website has a certain obligation to back the news up with facts. Granted, this blog here often quotes actual sources, but not all of them do. As for forums, the ability to sort out the wheat from the chaff is a mandatory skill there :-D<BR/><BR/>But of course, 99% of paper journos who write about motorcycling knows jack squat about the subject in hand. Hence, reports like this.first_synnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320596853177213504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-21291840475592339422007-03-12T23:30:00.000+05:302007-03-12T23:30:00.000+05:30the report doesnt really mention anything abt blog...the report doesnt really mention anything abt blogs...like urs n mine...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-71507155416695258332007-03-11T13:11:00.000+05:302007-03-11T13:11:00.000+05:30i read the internet version of this news and i had...i read the internet version of this news and i had ur same feeling!<BR/><A HREF="http://blog.neo999.com/index.php/automobiles/blogs-boost-bike-sales" REL="nofollow"/><BR/><BR/>Its sad that media doing such silly mistakes..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-18037738385971455782007-03-11T05:11:00.000+05:302007-03-11T05:11:00.000+05:30It seems as if more and more people are finding th...It seems as if more and more people are finding the story behind the corporate marketing on the Web. Whether blogs have a big role or not is questionable. My blog, Scooter in the Sticks, is mostly about my experiences riding a Vespa. I suppose if someone's interests and experience line up with mine it may help them decide on a purchase but it seems as if they might have already decided and are just looking for confirmation.<BR/><BR/>I do know of about a dozen people who have told me that they bought a Vespa because of Scooter in the Sticks. I think the bigger impact blogs have is when something negative occurs with a product and it is not addressed by a company or dealer. That negative stuff can fly around the internet.<BR/><BR/>Steve Williams<BR/><A HREF="http://vespalx150.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Scooter in the Sticks</A>Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.com
