A B2B Blogger Passes
I was exploring ABM's Mediapace blog, and wondering when we'd start to see this blog get a bit more 'serious.'
Then I noticed, down at the bottom of the right menu frame, a list of six links to ABM member blogs. Great idea, and I hope ABM will expand this list dramatically. (And maybe run a series of "best of b2b blogs" posts, to highlight what's happening among b2b blogs.) The blogs are worth checking out, especially Digging Deeper. I'm not sure Furniture Today's registration model is workable. And some of the blogs seem perfunctory.
But the blog that caught my attention was Video Systems' The Cut. Blogger Bob Turner lost his battle with cancer last month.
From editorial director Cynthia Wisehart: Because so many of you ask after him, I thought it appropriate to let you know that our wonderful Bob will not be returning to this blog or the pages of Video Systems. As many in the industry know, he has been fighting a major battle with cancer since last fall. He succeeded in beating it back, but ultimately not enough. Presently he is home under hospice care, where his wife Peg says he is in comfort, surrounded by family and soothed by the smell of the sea.
Bob died on July 15. I didn't know him, but based on what I've read on the blog, I wish I had.
