The WorkingPoint blog
I've been checking out the blog put out by WorkingPoint, an "online, small business solution." They have been putting out some interesting articles such as Essential Ingredients for Small Business Success and 19 Ways to Drive a Steady Stream of Traffic to Your Website. It's fun site - periodically, you'll come across the Botpreneur, who is ready for (business) action.
WorkingPoint offers free invoicing, bill & expense management and bookkeeping, with additional services for $10 per month. This article explains that the founders of WorkingPoint "worked for Intuit and were behind the creation of QuickBooks and Quicken. They believed Quickbooks had become too complicated and that the small business software segment was ripe for SaaS-based innovation."

State of the Blogosphere 2009
From the description by Eric Olsen, Publisher of Blogcritics/Technorati
Earlier this month, denizens of the blogosphere descended on Las Vegas for three days of networking and socializing at the 2009 BlogWorld & New Media Expo. Besides the conference and trade show, there was much to learn from the keynote speakers, and of particular interest was the 2009 State of the Blogosphere delivered by Technorati CEO Richard Jalichandra.
The 2009 State of the Blogosphere
Introduction: Why the results of the survey are displayed according to four different types of bloggers.
Day 1: Who Are the Bloggers? We delve into the demographics.
Day 2: The What and Why of Blogging: Why we do what we do.
Day 3: The How of Blogging: How often we blog, what technologies we use, and whether or not we track our traffic.
Day 4: Blogging Revenues, Brands and Blogs: Branding and monetizing our blogs.
Day 5: 2009 Trends: Political Impact of Blogging, Twitter Usage.
In addition to the survey results, you'll find illuminating interviews with some of the blogosphere's movers and shakers:
Michael Arrington, TechCrunch
Penelope Trunk, Brazen Careerist
Steve Rubel, Edelman Digital, Micro Persuasion
Alex Santoso, Neatorama
Henry Copeland, Blogads
Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post
Jonathan Salem Baskin, Dimbulb
Mathew Ingram, Toronto Globe and Mail
Seth Godin, Squidoo, sethgodin.typepad.com
Simon Mackie, Web Worker Daily
Dan Gillmor, dangillmor.com
Duncan Riley, The Inquisitr
About the State of the Blogosphere
Since 2004, Technorati's annual State of the Blogosphere report has followed growth and trends in the blogosphere. For the second time, bloggers, generous with their thoughts and insights, were surveyed directly to provide the data for the report. The 2009 State of the Blogosphere survey demonstrates that the growth of the blogosphere's influence on subjects ranging from business to politics to the way information travels through communities continues to flourish. In a year when revolutions and elections were organized by blogs, bloggers are blogging more than ever, and the State of the Blogosphere is strong.

Nielsen trends
Recommended the Nielsen wire blog of consumer trends. Yes, THOSE Nielsen people who do the ratings. The downside; most blog post link to paid articles. Still there's a lot to learn about marketing segments here.

What kind of blog is this?
My Colleague Darrin wrote this post about the nature of the SBDC Research Network blog, using Typealyzer. So I thought I'd try it on THIS blog.
The analysis indicates that the author of http://nysdca.blogspot.com is of the type:
ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers
The responsible and hardworking type. They are especially attuned to the details of life and are careful about getting the facts right. Conservative by nature they are often reluctant to take any risks whatsoever.
The Duty Fulfillers are happy to be let alone and to be able to work int heir own pace. They know what they have to do and how to do it.
Analysis
This show what parts of the brain that were dominant during writing.

My Blogger Nightmare is Over
Last week, I found that I could post blogs on this blog - thus the test posts, whicjh I'm leaving up for posterity - but that I couldn't actually see the main blog page. This was weird, because it happened to only one of my five Blogger blogs. Moreover, if I had the specific link to a previously posted item, I could get to that.
Looking through Blogger help, I finally discovered that a number of people were having the same problem, getting an error message that started with bX. I posted my situation on some Blogger board and Saturday, it seemed to be working again.
Actual content soon.

Trendpedia - Blog Search
From the James J. Hill Library
Say you're interested in finding recent blog posts on a particular topic or in a niche industry. Or you want to track the use of a term in blogs over time. Forget about Google. Remember Trendpedia.
Trendpedia searches across recent postings in an attempt to shed light on what bloggers are talking about at a distinct moment in time. Today, for example. Or yesterday. Run a search on a term and find a chart tracking that term's use over time, complete with links to the actual blog posts themselves. You can also compare multiple terms (e.g. mobile vs. email marketing) and email results.
The site is European, which becomes evident from the date structure (June 24 = "24-06"), but the coverage is universal. Use Trendpedia to keep close tabs on the blogosphere.

The Numbers Guy
RECOMMENDED BLOG: The Numbers Guy. "Carl Bialik examines the way numbers are used, and abused." Free from the Wall Street Journal. Recent examples:
The Trouble With Ranking Life-Expectancy Numbers (August 27)
Calculating the Cost of Weddings (August 23): noting the difference between the mean and the median price of matrimony
Increasingly in Baseball, Stealing Pays (August 21): Go, METS! Literally.

Metablogging
Someone wrote to me and said: "Thank you for doing this (blog). I will be happy to contribute. Wondering if in addition to a blog and MySpace we shouldn't also be on YouTube and have a music video?" Well, yes, if you think it would help expand the message of the NY SDC.
Meanwhile, one of my colleagues posted this about blogging. I could do all of those things for this blog (or my work blog or my personal blog), but then I wouldn't get ANY work done.

Technorati Score
This blog here has a Technorati score! Of course, the score is 1, but it's better than nothing, which some nascent blogs have.
What AM I talking about? "Currently tracking 90.9 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media, Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now." By comparison, the #1 blog, Engadget, has an authority of 30,364, the 100th most popular blog, Online Marketing Blog has an authority of 3,471, and my personal blog, Ramblin' with Roger, which in the top 250,000 (wow), has an authority of 27.
And while I'm talking technobabble, I get this weekly report about who's coming to the blog. For the first five weeks:
Week ending June 8: 75 people for an average of 4 minutes, 19 seconds each
Week ending June 15: 82 people for an average of 4:07
Week ending June 22: 87 people for an average of 5:58
Week ending June 29: 39 people for an average of 3:39
Week ending July 6: 51 people for an average of 3:14
You may have noticed there was only one post for the week ending June 29, because I was on vacation.
I'm fascinated to note that other people find this blog. For instance, last time I checked, 13 of the last 100 visitors to this site were from outside of the United States.
In any case, I'm always looking for MORE CONTENT; you know who you are. If you're feeling technologically uncomfortable with creating hyperlinks or whatnot, e-mail the data to me. I'll credit you (or not, if you prefer).
