Fastener Blog Launched

John Wolz

Observing his teens use “My Space” and blogs, a fastener manufacturers rep launched Fastenerblog.net to provide an online forum for the industry.
Individuals can post industry trends, supplier reviews or rumors and network for jobs. Postings are held briefly until the host edits content to avoid problem postings.
Fastenerblog.net is independent of associations or industry publications. The blog is “not sponsored by any group or specific company” and no advertising is planned.
“The young people do not communicate like we do. And let me tell you something,” the anonymous moderator observed.
“They are all on their way to work in the marketplace either with us or at places we call on for business. This new method of communication will soon be part of our every day life just as faxes and cell phones and e-mails have filtered into our lives over the last decade.”
“I hope to post some entries that cause readers to respond with their own thoughts. I welcome that!”\ �2007 FastenerNews.com
