Getting Online With My 21Publish Blog
Comments: 2
Welcome!
For those of you just getting to this blog, I view this as one part of my training to eat my own dog food. That is, as the COO of 21Publish, I need to be an active user of the 21Publish product on multiple levels. This blog represents my incarnation as an individual blog user affiliated with 21Publish. I currently plan to cover topics here surrounding blogging communities, group blogging, social networking, and non-profits. I may cross-post at my other blog as well.
As additional background, this blog does not demonstrate use of the 21Publish product in its full glory. To elaborate a bit, with the 21Publish service, one can establish an entire blogging community or a group blog. See the following picture:
This 21Publish blog is in the second layer of the system. More info on the two-layer system and key features and benefits of using 21Publish here.
As for why I have not yet started a blog community of my own ... well to be frank, I am hoping to incubate a few others with friends and professional contacts that I already have. I don't have a good idea about a community that I yet want to "own" for awhile. The couple of the highest running possibilities right now are blog communities surrounding social entrepreneurship (which I am just learning about) and non-profits. Another possibility is an MBA-related community. In any case, these may be underrepresented communities in the online world that I'd like to help out regardless of my affiliation with 21Publish.
Feel free to send me your thoughts! I can be reached at sshu at 21publish dot com. Note that the RSS feed for Steve Shu's 21Publish blog is http://www.21publish.com/rss/sshu.rss.

Steve, Any chance existing blogs can be migrated over? IMHO, it might be easier to form a comunity out of existing blogs.

Deepak,It is possible to create a community out of existing blogs with the 21Publish solution. That said, I don't have a set of blogs I have in mind to bind together for a specific purpose.
My working thought right now is to start a worldwide blog community surrounding LinkedIn Bloggers (could be users of either or both technologies). The community would be developed around contributing thoughts and help to non-profits and/or one another. As part of this effort, we might be introducing LinkedIn members to the blogging medium.
Any thoughts?
