When we interact with each other in person, we smile and nod and talk. The internet strips away all the visible ques of conversation and forces us to rely on text. However, even in text we try to replicate human interaction and that is how blogging and social media evolved. To me, blogging is a way to share with others we might not have the opportunity to talk with face-to-face. As far as business goes I often tell my clients that their website is their sales pitch and their blog is their "one-on-one" or "let's get coffee" meeting. Its give us a chance to share, be open and assert our uniqueness compared to other companies and our peers. Often a blog is more of an opening to a conversation instead of a complete one. There is a chance for readers to respond with their own thoughts and ideas without all the outside interruptions that happen during a real life conversation (noise, phone calls, other people interrupting). So I guess to me, blogging is really the first step to meaningful conversation online. I think we as humans are creatures of habit, we try to duplicate what we know despite the medium.

Every time you enjoy a $3 coffee drink, realize that a $25 loan to an entrepreneur in a country where the average daily wage is $1 is a wonderful thing. Kudos to http://kiva.org for making it so easy to help people all over the planet you share with them. Dignity is a wonderful gift. Our loans bring multiple benefits to entire families and their communities. I have made it a point to continue my kiva.org support for nearly two years, adding a loan for every $25 that comes in through my online conferences. I've invited some friends, and they have all surpassed the average loan levels. I've gifted people who don't need other more worldly kinds of gifts. Thanks to great bloggers like Chris Brogan, who supported our "Kivathon" 24 hour live podcast in March of 2007.
