Does Blogging do to the Web what Pro20 is doing to Cricket?

Almost everyone watched the FIFA World cup. Many South African’s watch the ICC Cricekt World cup. Many local bloggers watch & blog about the Cricket World Cup.

After watching the Proteas VS Aussies encounter yesterday, congrats
Australia, it suddenly occured to me: They’ve gone and taken the Pro20
style of playing and extended it to a full 50 over One Day
international.

This is good for everyone: spectators, players, Simpler, Better, Faster. Inspired Motivated Involved advertisers… cricket has become so much more exciting.

Back to the Title of this post: Does blogging do to the web what 20-20 is doing to Cricket? No more settling in the first 15 overs. Now
it is run-a-ball from the first ball. Morethan run-a-ball if you’ve got
the worlds best Cricket teams up against each other (South Africa &
Australia).

You’ve got everyone in the field diving. Thank you Jonty Rhodes (fielding coach for the Proteas) .

High class batting until Greame goes and gets hurt.

Superb bowling. Andrew Hall’s become a death-bowler of note.

Everyone on the cricket field is upping their game

I believe Pro20 is largely responsible for the increased rate of
scoring and the resulting increased quality in fielding, batting and
bowling.

In the same way I believe blogging has upped the game for everyone in the World Wide Web.

Make a mistake, the blogosphere starts to buzz.

Do something right, the blogosphere finds what you’ve missed. Kinda like a third umpire.

Let bloggers play with your new product or web service before anyone
else and you’re able to improve the quality without the cost and
altered mindests of focus groups. You’ll even get free publicity,
unwanted sometimes like when Tyler Reed leaked Amatomu on his blog. Is any publicity ever bad publicity?

Do something wrong and get walloped out the park (not going to mention an example here)

The silly point of this post is: Your Web AddiCT believes that blogging improves the standard of all things web-related *period* in the same way 20-20 has imporved the quality of ODI’s.
