Boise Bloggers 7-7-05

It's been a while since I've posted. I finally got my resume blog done, check it out at www.tacsresume.blogspot.com. I've had two interviews; one with the Steven-Heneger college. They're a fast track college new to Boise. I was one of the younger candidates (only 40 out of 350 were called back) I was also the only one not in a tie. It was a group interview with about 15 of us. It was interesting, but I don't think it's for me. My second and much more interesting "interview" was with Justin from Blueline Marketing (www.bluelineresults.com). It wasn't an official interview, but a cup of coffee.

Blueline seems to me to be the closest agency to doing marketing right. So many Marketing agencies are glorified add agencies. And so many PR agencies don't do enough marketing. Marketing should lead with PR and follow with advertising. The other big problem I see is that a marketing plan, a PR plan, and an add plan, for the same company, will be three seperate plans. To me that seems counter productive.

Speaking of blogs, there needs to be a Boise blog ring, or even an Idaho blog ring. I found one for Northern Idaho, but haven't found much conecting the Boise bloggers. How can there not be one with that much illiteration? Besides what a great networking tool. You could even have different classifications, like politics, business, news, personal, ect...
