Today we’re franchise blogging about franchise blogging. Lots of blogging about franchises, and we’re getting into the fray.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article (by Richard Gibson) all about franchise blogs, and the franchise blog community promptly blogged about the article on franchise blogs.
- To wit:
Franchise-Chat (http://www.franchise-chat.com/). This blog has an international flavor, if you’re interested in going global. - The Franchise Pundit (franchisepundit.com). Advice and news from a franchise attorney.
- Unhappy Franchisee (http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com/). Provides a forum for discussion of negative aspects of a franchise.
- WikidFranchise.org. WikidFranchise.org Like the well-known Wikipedia, a place for anyone to add relevant information.
…And then franchise blogs blogged about the franchise blog article…
Bizzia.com blogged about the WSJ article and managed to eclipse the actual article in Google prominence.Notable sites that escaped mention include FranchisePick.Com, FranBest.com, TopNewFranchises.com, Michael Webster’s The BizOpp News, and Joel Libava’s The Franchise King blog. While not a blog, Richard Solomon’s Franchise Remedies also includes a wealth of information and insights.
All this makes me believe that the term blogosphere is literal, not figurative – the image of a giant wired structure, perhaps plexiglass, surrounding the literal globe, with electronic info pinging out and back, so that every bit of information known by any human at any time about the world of franchise is instantly known by every other human.
