A Word from the Author

July 22nd, 2007

Anyone who reads “Power And Influence: The Rules Have Changed” will know that I am an enthusiastic booster of the blogosphere. This populist arm of the new media has been one of the most democratizing forces the communications world has witnessed in recent times and its influence on public policy, particularly, has been significant and unprecedented. Today, Everyman and Everywoman have the potential to disseminate his, or her, opinions, ideas, passions and prejudices to a broad audience and make a difference.

Having written so much about blogging — its power and influence — I practice what I preach. Starting September 1, I plan to launch a daily blog to communicate to friends, contacts, business associates, and public figures around the globe, highly-placed and otherwise — as well as anyone else who cares to link to the site — a distillation of learning in the previous 24 hours. I invite you to browse blog.dilenschneiderpower.com and also encourage you to post your comments.
