I am wondering whether it would be perhaps a good idea to give some guidelines to publish notes on our blog, as it seems that it is quite difficult for many of you to initiate or launch new debates, except for some regular authors that I'd like to thank for their work by the way.
Then I'd like to get your feedback on two followings idea:
- giving the exclusivity of publication to members of a same country during 10 days, to give us an overview of their local vision of the blogosphere, how big is the awareness around corporate blogging in their country, what are the best local corporate blogs they know, how are blogs mainly used from now, what would certainly not happen with blogs, etc.... Every ten days, the editor team is moving to an other country. All other members can only post comments but are not authorize to publish articles.
- giving the exclusivity to specific topics during 10 days. Everyone can publish notes or just comment, but only on the ongoing topic. Ex.: Blogs and HR, blogs and management, blogs and CRM, blogs to manage crisis, blogs as collaborative tools, best of blogs, what a blog should never be, best books/articles/survey around blog, ...and so much more.
- ... does someone have an other idea ?
The idea is launched, give me your feedback, let's make it together. This is an "open source" blog.
I think that the response should not be limiting but rather encouraging people to share their ideas. Giving exclusivity to members of the same country, etc. is too restricting.
A suggestion: encouraging replication. There are many good bloggers in this club who could reproduce articles from their personal blogs in this forum.
ps I leave for a two-week trip to China tomorrow. Don't be surprised if I don't post until my return. (But maybe I will!)

Guillaume, what you're asking (inputs from people) would be well geared to running a wiki.

Guillaume,
Your 2 idea are good. It is a good thing to have a guideline but let's see the other opinion !

Too much management kills creativity too! :-) A blog is an emergent debate, some posts are more interesting than others. Not all need to be debated with the same intensity. Also, building up audience and contributions takes time and there is already some great stuff here.
I think cross-posting would be great, we all are writing about blogging and related matters on our blogs, it would make sense to get the benefit of that content as well.
