Why I Blog on Diamonds and Jewelry?
Barry Schwartz just tagged me asking me why I blog. Here are some reasons I can think of right off the top of my head:
1. We are passionate about diamonds and jewelry and cannot get enough information for ourselves. This has us scouring the industry for news, updates, and information. It is a small hop and a skip from there to actually collating this info. into a cohesive blog.
2. In addition to our e-commerce diamond & jewelry website, our Signature Ideal Diamond Information website, and other diamond websites in cyberspace where we contribute our time and expertise, our blog allows us the flexibility of sharing a varied level of information and data on the things we know best!
3. A blog is so much more impersonal and less formal than a regular website. It reads better. It engages the consumer and it sends the message that you don't have to actually be in the market to "buy" something in order to enjoy information on diamonds and jewelry. Many people are scared to browse an e-commerce website for diamonds and jewelry simply because they are scared to get "pitched" before they might actually be ready to buy. By enabling the reader to sift through interesting postings related to diamonds and jewelry, we give people the opportunity to get comfortable with our industry and with buying on the net in particular.
Buying diamonds or jewelry on the net from a reputable jeweler is not scary proposition. Indeed, the age of the Internet, its ability to add value and empower the consumer with real knowledge and info. has completely changed the face of the diamond industry.
4. I respect and appreciate successful diamond and jewelry designers, companies, and brands who have distinguished themselves in our industry. These are people who are passionate about what they do and about making customers happy. They are perfectionists in their work and they deserve credit and kudos for enriching our industry and the customer experience.
Our blog gives me the opportunity and platform to recognize their contributions in my "Diamond Stars" and "Diamond & Jewelry" websites sections.
5. I enjoy helping people learn about loose diamonds and diamond jewelry. People buy this stuff during an emotional high point in their lives and it makes me happy to play a small role in their momentous occasions.
6. A blog enables me to create my own community in cyberspace where I get to "meet" wonderful and interesting people who share a similar interest and passion. It also allows us to converse with experts in the industry who are at the top of their game. This is a really cool way of leveraging the powerful net and we are loving it!
7. Finally, I'd be remiss (and intellectually dishonest..;-)) if I didn't also point to the fact that our popular diamond and jewelry blog helps us showcase some of our own talents..;-) and certainly sends some traffic to our diamond and jewelry store.
That's all I could think of for now!!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

I thought AOL was worst from the 12 months. Choose a single background therapy and stick to it; otherw ise your brand??? arrives off as being a brainstorming session.

I feel like you could most likely teach a class on the way to make an excellent blog. This is wonderful! I have to say, what genuinely got me was your style. You undoubtedly know the way to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve produced it doable for folks to connect. Good for you, due to the fact not that several individuals know what theyre performing.

Aw, this was a genuinely good quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and actual effort to make a great write-up... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain some thing done.

This is absolutely a weblog that folks have to get behind. The problem is, no one desires to do a great deal of reading and not have some thing else to stimulate the mind. This is the web, following all. Maybe in the event you added a video or two to emphasise your point. Ill stick around, FOR Positive. But, I dont know if other people will.

Im not going to say what every person else has already said, but I do desire to comment on your knowledge of the topic. Youre really well-informed. I cant believe how much of this I just wasnt aware of. Thank you for bringing a lot more information to this topic for me. Im genuinely grateful and truly impressed.
