			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google&#8217;s newly launched social-informational site, <a href="http://knol.google.com/k#">Knol</a>, is described as being very similar to Wikipedia&#8217;s community intelligence model, but with one major twist: Knol articles are given bylines. The articles, are single-topic, stand alone entries and are not updated chronologically as in the Wikipedia model.</p>
<p>Knol has also publishing tools similar to single blog pages. But unlike blogs, Knol encourages writers to reduce what they know about a topic to a single page that is not chronologically updated.</p>
<p>Google plans to implement a ranking system for articles written on similar topics, which will push relevant articles to the top and encourage competition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sinds enkele minuten geleden is <a href="http://www.dutchcowgirls.nl/">DutchCowgirls.nl</a> live, het eerste Nederlandse marketing- en techblog gemaakt door vrouwen. En daar zijn we best trots op. De site gaat over merken, producten en marketingcampagnes en richt zich op mannen en vrouwen die bovenmatig geïnteresseerd zijn in internet, marketing, gadgets en alle andere mooie dingen.</p>
<p>Mede-oprichter van DutchCowgirls en al jaren bekend blogster op <a href="http://www.dutchcowboys.nl">DutchCowboys</a>, <a href="/bloggers/53">Marjolijn Kamphuis</a>: “<em>Af en toe lijkt het alsof de online wereld vooral het domein is van de man. Vrouwen zijn net zo goed geïnteresseerd in technische dingen die mooi en nieuw zijn, en kijken daar vaak net even anders tegenaan. Vandaar dat we meiden met deze interesses een eigen spreekbuis wilden geven die ruimte biedt aan die typische zaken die hen juist opvallen.</em>’</p>
<p>DutchCowgirls is niet zo maar een spin-off van DutchCowboys maar een bewuste keuze om in het veld van van marketing en communicatie blogs een nieuw en ander geluid te laten horen. Door het in het verlengde van DC te plaatsen krijgt het juist extra lading.</p>
<p>We geloven dat de som der delen sterker is dan het orgineel en dat is niet altijd zo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogideafactory.com/2008/06/23/dutchcowgirls-online-is-niet-langer-mannenwereld/dutchcowgirls/" rel="attachment wp-att-26" title="dutchcowgirls"><img src="http://www.blogideafactory.com/wp-content/header.jpg" alt="dutchcowgirls" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>De DutchCowgirls houden van gadgets, mooie telefoons, auto’s en computers. Maar ook van goede reclame, films, muziek en inspirerende evenementen. Ze reviewen e-shops, testen gadgets, widgets en auto’s, delen verhalen over dating-site horror en volgen het succes van boulevard blogger Perez Hilton. DutchCowgirls kijken net even verder: Naast capaciteit en effect, óók naar functionaliteit en esthetiek.</p>
<p>Sommige dingen zijn bijvoorbeeld gewoon mooi. Daarom heeft DutchCowgirls de rubriek ‘Mooi Gevonden’: een mobiele foto dropbox van alles wat de cowgirls in het dagelijks leven in het oog springt. De nieuwe site valt verder op doordat alles vanuit ‘a woman’s point of view’ wordt geschreven. Informatief, nieuwsgierig, bondig en eigenwijs.</p>
<p>Marjolijn Kamphuis: “<em>Het is tijd dat online media wat sexier worden, er blijven op de bestaande blogs nog zoveel onderwerpen onderbelicht! Er zijn genoeg sites over Search Engine Optimalisatie en de producten en plannen van Microsoft, maar in dat soort kleurloze onderwerpen is slechts een kleine groep mensen geinteresseerd. Gadgets en trends daarentegen, dat interesseert steeds meer mannen én vrouwen. Je merkt het aan het verschijnen van gadgetpagina’s in de Glossy’s, en prominente aanwezigheid van onder meer de iPhone en een site als Bag Borrow or Steal in de succesfilm Sex and the City. DutchCowgirls komt dus net op tijd de hoek om galopperen.”</em><!--more--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As people spend more time on a variety of social networking platforms, they are spending less time blogging, and it&#8217;s having an effect on the blogosphere. Social networks, according to Robert Scoble, are replacing a lot of the functions that blogs used to perform &#8212; and are doing them faster, better, and in a way that&#8217;s more targeted.</p>
<p>Scoble &#8220;<em><a href="http://friendfeed.com/scobleizer" linkindex="2">Visit my FriendFeed</a> and you’ll see why I’m blogging less (it shows you what I’ve been generating on other services). When I started this blog in 2000 there wasn’t Twitter. Wasn’t Upcoming.org. Wasn’t Google Reader. Wasn’t Flickr. Wasn’t YouTube. Wasn’t Seesmic</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Robert did his keynote about this subject at the <a href="http://2008.thenextweb.org/">Next Web Conference</a> in Amsterdam.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.copyblogger.com/keyword-research-for-bloggers/#more-530">Copyblogger</a> writes : Keyword research can be the difference between a successful blog and one that goes nowhere, but it often seems as if many bloggers think it’s something that doesn’t apply to them, or is “only for SEO.” To the contrary, keyword research goes way beyond search engine optimization, and is all about discovering what real live people are actively interested in.</p>
<p>That means keyword research helps you choose profitable blog subjects, identify content topics that are in high demand, and spot monetization methods that work. With that in mind, Copyblogger associate editor Jonathan Morrow and I have put together a <a href="http://www.copyblogger.com/keyword-research/">5-part comprehensive guide to keyword research for bloggers</a> that walks you though the entire process using real-life niche examples.</p>
