www.inkthinkerblog.com — I blogged about this a little at Biz Chicks Rule, but I thought it warranted some more tongue-in-cheek follow-up. There are definite advantages to YouTubing your business, but some disadvantages as well — the biggest being that you may just end up looking like a MORON instead of actually helping your business efforts.

“Your blog last week on abortion was really controversial.”
“This blog is one of my favorites.”
Great sentiments, all of them, but do you know what the speaker is actually saying? Because I don’t. A blog, short for weblog, is this whole thing you’re looking at right now, this collection of writings and links. A blog post is a single entry in the larger entity that is a blog.
Think of it this way:
blog = diary/journal/notebook
post = what you wrote on January 27, 1987
So people, and especially bloggers, please stop using “blog” and “post” interchangeably. They’re not the same thing.
