Keeping It Real.


Speaking of the logo that artists designed for his new album, Nick Cave makes an interesting observation.

I think that blogging is very effective if done right, but that is a really big IF. Many organizations launch blogs and don't do it right, and when the blog fails they blame it on the ineffectiveness of the technology.
