§ Dealing with Spam

In an effort to thrwart comment spammers, I'm using a utility that ensures a real person is entering a comment. I apologize for the extra step required to enter the word you see in the graphic, but it's better than cleaning out a few hundred poker ads.

1. blogging helped me land my current job, even though we are not blogging here…yet.

   i had just participated in Fast Company’s FC Now Blogjam in celebration of their blog’s first birthday.

   being able to say i was tapped for this event told as much about my writing skills as a writing test, writing samples, etc. not to mention, the PR focus of my blog told my current employer that i am passionate about my work.

2. Purists crack me up. The same people saying “information wants to be free” and the Internet is an “open” Wild Wild West of opportunity and freedom of expression…only really want their information and the expression they approve of to proliferate.

   If no one reads the Stonyfield or any other corporate blog then I guess we’ll have our answer that the world agrees with purists..until that day? To each their own.

3. Chief Blogger here, Chris Halvorson. Just wanted to say: Last I checked I was a) a real person and b)using my own, authentic (albeit laced with a Midwestern-Norwegian Lutheran accent)voice on the Stonyfield Farm blogs. And I’m having a heck of a lot of fun doing it.
