Like the similie. I like the thought that ‘a blog is like a garden’. We actually used something quite similar in a presenation recently, though it was more about brands who want to build online communities. Like a garden, it takes lots of time and effort to make a community grow.

Thank god. Me too. 10% drop in the last few days according to Feedburner. I had no idea it was “them” and not “me”. Ever wonder about how much you actually DO follow the slow upward tick of these numbers? Very sad.

Nicola: yep – it definitely works like thata – love it. I think i lot of brands are dealing with over-grown scrub-land that they need to clear and examine before they start trying to get plants to grow :-)
David: it all speaks to our brains’ reward-systems. In a sense, I think one becomes literally addicted to them ;-)

Not just blogs. We have been talking to clients about communities on Social Networking sites being like gardens – taking time, energy, effort (love?) to make things grow. Every client wants a “MySpace” presence, without realising that they have to understand what their role is and that you can’t just expect that you rock up and everyone wants to be your new friend!
