Another episode in the can. Thanks, Liz Strauss for joining me tonight.
In the first half hour, Liz and I talked about the 260 blog “Auto Blog” playoff where she “broke the internet”. Liz also talked about how she fought the math and ran into a few hiccups along the way. She ran 1 post a minute for 260 minutes and ended up 3 times the number of visits to her site.
Liz comments that she never does anything for the marketing aspect and does things just because she likes talking to people.
I noted that Liz is really very similar to what she was when she began blogging and I think that consistency is key to her success.
In the second half of the show, Liz discusses things that matter to her most: the gap between the virtual (internet) world and the concrete world. An example is “community” or “conversation” in the concrete world being more about Omaha, Nebraska or sitting on a patio talking.
She comments that people who haven’t experienced the internet don’t really get the full interaction of the internet.
Other topics included literacy and entrepreneurship.
