Blogs of Partners on…

When I started blogging back in 2004, to get an idea of this form of online publishing, I felt alone [a bit ;-)]: There were millions of blogs already, but no one of my friends, partners, clients etc. was blogging. No one. Things have changed, but in the professional arena mainly and still on a very limited scale. Possibly this is [was?] one of the main reasons why blogging accelerates new contacts?

Martin Seibert, executive of //Seibert/Media and my partner at //Gartentechnik.com, established the first blog in my non-virtual personal surrounding when he started Kalyxo denkt in April 2005: He writes about knowledge management, online marketing, and online technology. Since July 2006 Alexander Müller is writing for kalyxo.de as well and the whole, now: groupblog will move to blog.seibert-media.net in near future.

Alexander is an employee of //Seibert/Media who has been [I hope: will continue - maybe on new topics?] writing his own blog at eeto.org [e:to | jap. ‘let me see…’] about his time at the Kyoto University from January 2005 to spring 2006. Stefan Nicolin, another employee, blogs about Mac OS and coding in general since November 2005. Michael Frankl, a partner of //Seibert/Media, blogs about Perl-coding and internet technology since July 2005.

Except of Alexander’s e:to we’ve got internet technology driven blogs on this list only. No more topics? There are two left. - The first one is the only personal, absolutely not for profit weblog: it’s Juliane’s liber culinae about restaurants, cooking, music, literature, and other topics, started in May 2005.

Last but not least there’s Tobias Schwiesau’s Tuningblogger.de, started in August 2005: Tobias works for me as an editor of Gartentechnik.de and Gardora.net. After he tried to persuade me on car and tuning topics again and again I recommended starting a blog about tuning. He’s quite successful with Tuningblogger.de today and blogging for Stern.de [a popular German magazine] and auto.germanblogs.de beside his own blog.

I hope, I didn’t miss anyone.
