Business and Blogging thinks it’s time to understand how authenticity makes relationships.
Authenticity and connection is a cornerstone of successful blogging. Blogs are an opportunity for consumers to get insight into the behind the scenes working of corporations and small businesses – not be further distanced, distracted or duped.
Dumb Little Man thinks it’s time for commitment to our goals.
There is a way to reach your goals faster and easier than your current method. In fact it’s so powerful and surefire that many people avoid it. Why? Because it forces you to do the work that will make your dreams come true.
Craigh Harper thinks it’s time to be pleased with who we are.
I understand how important it is for you to be liked, loved and accepted but the irony is that in trying to be everything for everybody, you seem to be losing you.
PsychCentral thinks its time to know what we’re disclosing.
When you share and disclose aspects of your personal health with the world, it is something very different than when you share and disclose your favorite books or hobbies or musical groups
Blogging Sueblimely thinks it’s time we knew about our searching options.
Google Search does has a lot going for it. It is the most popular, many people are happier staying with something they are familiar with and it integrates with so many other highly used services, mostly its own.

Thanks for linking to our post on fake blogs. Hopefully, the message will get across.
This is a great list of links. I know I’ll enjoy each piece.
I was actually thinking along the lines of how much is too much to reveal online today, so I’m particularly interested in the PsychCentral post.
Thanks for sharing!
For the first time in a looong time, the article with the most impact on me isn’t the first article, rather the third so I can resolve that I’m not crazy!
I don’t typically worry about what I say online in relation to my *health care coverage* and can’t imagine my kid’s MySpace being a reason for being declined for coverage!
Hi Laura!
I really value the post you did on fake blogs. The topic is both timely and your take so refreshing. Being a fan of a fake blog or two myself . . . you hit the mark on every reason I like them.
Hi Lani!
Actually that was the first blog post, I chose to put in this week’s cafe. So it was first in one way. 🙂
It’s an important topic and one that usually isn’t discussed from strictly legal and ethical points of view.
Knowing what we say on the Internet lasts and is findable is an important aspect of “safe blogging.”
Hi Liz!
Actually my co-blogger, Liz Fuller, wrote that particular post. I’m glad you liked it. I was just stopping by and noticed the link.
Hi Laura!
Darn, I knew that! Goes to show you what my day has been like. 🙂
Glad to have you. You both have done a great job with that SOB Blog. 🙂
Hi Liz,
I’m glad you liked the article on fake blogs. Laura and I have been having a lot of fun with businessandblogging since we picked it up at the beginning of the year. No fake!
And thanks for sharing Dumb Little Man’s secret to goal setting – I think I’m going to try that!
Liz
Hi Liz!
I sure did like the article. As you can tell by what I wrote to Laura. 🙂
You guys are making businessandblogging.com a fabulous read. 🙂
Dumb Little Man is also a favorite. Doesn’t surprise me that it caught your attention.
That was a great selection Liz, thank you.
It was too late for me to make it over for nachos and drinks, but they went well with tea and toast in the morning 🙂
