Blog outbreak

One of the discussion topics on a group I’m involved in on LinkedIn, asks whether too many conversations via social media networks are shamelessly driving people to their blogs. I’m not sure whether this is necessarily a bad thing. The majority of people using LinkedIn are using it to boost their profile, air issues with their peers, share best practice and generate new business. If blogs help to create a clearer picture of an individual or their business and people have a choice of whether to visit the sites or not, then should we really frown on it?
