		<description>The author of the number one recruiting blog posted a link to this posting on Recruiting.com and I answered there. But I&#039;ll repeat what I said and expand upon it.

Bull Doza is trying to push a line that Recruiting Blogs are major players in the recruiting industry at the present time. He&#039;s got his tag line &quot;Recruiting Blogs Are Empowered!&quot; and he&#039;s trying to say that they are &quot;industry partners&quot;. Of course no one knows what that means exactly but I assume from other remarks that it means that they have a big influence on companies producing product for the recruiting industry.

The evidence. Pretty shabby. I&#039;ve already taken it apart during the week on Rdc and the number one recruiting blog itself. But I will compile  all of my arguments on my own blogs next week.

Hey people. Being a blogger is different from being a glad handing cheerleader. And as Papa John Sumser points out on the number one recruiting blog, if you post bullshit someone is going to call you out. Well, I&#039;m that someone. If you want to take me on on this one, let me know directly and I&#039;ll give you a special opportunity to do so. But if you do, you&#039;d better write your will cause YOU-GONNA-DIE. 

PS: Carlo, I never said that individual recruiters like Harry Joiner could not benefit from blogs that cater to their client and candidate pools. And that&#039;s not the line  that is currently being promoted.</description>

		<description>Sooooo, Carl has a Not Chicken list ;)

This is an amazing topic (that of, do blogs influence)... I&#039;m glad you shared the story, and hope you become fabulously wealthy because of this phone call.  Then maybe you can send me a thank you post card from your private island.

Will you still blog then?</description>
