   <title>Much like GroundHog day, I&#039;m liking blogtipping so much...I&#039;m thinking of doing it EVERY day.</title>
   <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I like enjoyment, and hate misery. Enjoying misery, is not a combo I&#039;m aware of, as a concept...though I could point you in the direction of quite a few people who do practice this with verve.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Enjoying something so much that I have to do it again and again..and again and again...is something I often find occurring in my life.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;That&#039;s why I love &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedfire.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;THE innovator and pioneer of HTML to RSS conversion...and for FREE.&quot;&gt;FeedFire&lt;/a&gt;...I never get tired of it, ever. I just sit there looking at it sometimes, in loving affection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Blogtipping day, is now turning into GroundHog day...I&#039;m loving it so much, that I&#039;m NOT stopping.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Here&#039;s my next blogtipping tip off &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.feedfire.com/post/1/12&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;What is Blogtipping day?&quot;&gt;[see my previous post of today on Blogtipping]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The site is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogbusinesssummit.com/cgi-bin/mt-tb.cgi/112&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Blog Business Summitt&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;A typical entry is thus: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogbusinesssummit.com/2006/04/blogs_that_dont.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;A superb article.&quot;&gt;Blogs that don&#039;t look like blogs.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;As per the Blogtipping rules, there must be 3 given reasons, all in the positive.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Thus:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;1] It is incredibly informed and informative, at the same time. Focussing on communication within the blogging sphere for companies/corporate bloggers, it talks with an authority that comes with TRULY knowing all about the subject in hand.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;2] The language used is familiar, understandable and easily digested. New concepts are introduced in excellent English, and superbly written...beautifully articulated posts make this a real pleasure to read.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;3] They talk on subjects that are VERY much in vogue, concurrent and contemporary. Always right-up-to-the-minute stuff.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;As per the Blogtipping methodology, one suggested improvement:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;1] I&#039;d like to see more! But with quality, quantity is not often present....but I like what I get, so not moaning at all about this.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;You can read more about &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/blogtipping&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;blogtipping&quot;&gt;Blogtipping&lt;/a&gt; here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Farewell my feed-frolicking-fancies,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Mike&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

   <title>Blogtipping - Much like Christmas, it should be here every day. Spread the news [and the love].</title>
   <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It&#039;s easy to keep abreast of what&#039;s happening in the World today, oftentimes there&#039;s too much information and that&#039;s why I LOVE RSS and feeds of any nomenclature. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It helps, as they say, sort the chaff out from the wheat. Not that I&#039;ve done any REAL wheat filtering based work lately, but I have done [and continue to do] an incredible amount of reading each day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Without reading, of any type, I&#039;d probably end up assaulting the neighbour&#039;s Chihuaha [Again. I&#039;m still on probation for the last time].&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;So for me, the Internet has effectively been a 9 year degree course and I doubt I&#039;ll ever consider myself fit for graduation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Continually learning and seeking out new knowledge must be the pursuit of all mankind. Without knowledge, what is life worth living?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Anyways, this rather solemn statement leads me to blogs...yes, the sublime to the oh-so-sublime, if you&#039;re choosy, as indeed I am. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Blogs have contributed, extensively, to my continuing education. Without these daily [and more] injections of other peoples wisdom, observations, advice and sometimes general tomfoolery...I&#039;d be a very miserable Chihuaha ogler, indeed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Blogtipping day is today, May 1st and it&#039;s an annual event. Though, much like the title of this post implies, I wish it were every single day of the year [though you can have too much of  a good thing, but I wouldn&#039;t mind trying to see IF I did get bored].&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Effectively, you choose [one or more of]  your favourite blog[s] and then post 3 positive things you like about the blog, 1 improvement to the blog you feel could be made and then go tag it at &lt;a title=&quot;Blogtipping at Technorati.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/blogtipping&quot;&gt;Blogtipping &lt;/a&gt;at Technorati.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It&#039;s discussed very capably and with the usual panache and clarity I admire, at &#039;Converstations&#039;, Mike Sansone&#039;s blog which is the one I&#039;d reccommend to any commercial entity who would like to commence a blog...go there, read what Mike has to say and put it into practice and lo, you will have a magnificent blog &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;Blogtipping and becoming a better company Blogger&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.converstations.com/2006/04/reminder_may_1s.html&quot;&gt;Blogtipping, spread the love and learn how to do this thing properly, too&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;My chosen blog: Robin Good of &lt;a title=&quot;A brilliant blog/articles site for ALL communicators.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.masternewmedia.org&quot;&gt;Masternewmedia .org &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;See, for example &lt;a title=&quot;Just one article/blog post from Robin Good&#039;s EXCELLENT site.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2006/04/27/blog_usage_statistics_and_trends.htm&quot;&gt;Blog usage, statistics and trends.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I describe Robin&#039;s site as &amp;quot;Sheer necessity&amp;quot; and is, usually, the first blog of the day for me to take a look at when I open the feed reader.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Positives:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;1] You can discover EVERY new discussion/invention/article/fashion/operation in the communications sphere from here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;2] He talks in a NO BS manner. He tells it like it is, and is easily understandable even when discussing heavily technical or complicated topics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;3] He has integrity and a zest for uncovering the flim-flam from such a BS sector.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;1 Improvement: Hard to pinpoint, in honesty. Sometimes the site gets me confused, there&#039;s just so much content there. But in all, it&#039;s darned near perfection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;There, I&#039;ve shared my secret blog favourite with you and I already feel better.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Until we meet again, my canine cutie canoodlers,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Mike&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
