Last week, at our October Heavy Chef Session, we had the pleasure of being entertained and educated by presentations master, Rich Mulholland and super-blogger, Seth Rotherham. We posed the question ‘Is Blogging Dead?’ by which Rich and Seth broke it down for us and illustrated very creatively how blogging is not dead; won’t die anytime soon; and who’s asking this question in any way!

Seth kicked things off by telling us about his brilliant blog/site/portal, 2OceansVibe and how it came about to be so successful. He tells the story of how 2OceansVibe was a blog and then not a blog; a blog again… and then not a blog… again! With a few stories, a video and some quirky comments, Seth had us all rolling in our seats.

Next up, Rich, with some amazing examples, showed us all how blogging is NOT dead. “Who the bloody hell is asking this question in the first place?!”. Rich gave a variety of success stories where blogging influenced people’s lives, careers and of course, financial states. In Rich’s view Blogging creates content and Twitter distributes it. The one cannot survive without the other one.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday evening – and wow, what a crowd you were! Furthermore, super special thanks to our speakers and our sponsors, Delheim, Corona, Deloitte for their stunning venue and Channel Mobile for allowing us to send our Heavy Chef guests reminder SMS’ of our events.

For all of you who did not grab a seat fast enough, you can Become a Heavy Chef by subscribing to our site and receive invitations to all our events before anyone else.ast week, at our October Heavy Chef Session, we had the pleasure of being entertained and educated by presentations master, Rich Mulholland and super-blogger, Seth Rotherham.
