As we intrepidly launch our new blog / vlog to our already significant and ever growing* audience we thought it would be good time to lay down some of our founding principles behind the blue blog - our promise if you will, to you dear reader.

As public affairs people, we understand how important it is to stay on top of current issues but also keep your sense of humour about things. As such we have determined that we shall do our very best to engage and entertain with our collective stream of consciousness.

We know the figures - a blog created every half second or so, so we’re under no illusions as to our standing in the blogosphere at this point. But what we can promise you is that Blueblog:

1. Will frankly and fearlessly search out interesting and useful stuff for you as a bona fide cool campaigner / captain of industry / political apparatchik / armchair pundit
2. We will do whatever it takes to get you this useful stuff by scouring the daily global press-ophere, blogosphere, twittersphere and covertly bugging that born-again christian guy with the megaphone on the corner
3. We will also share cool tools and how to guides that we develop along the way - stay tuned in coming months for exciting developments of our digital grassroots toolkit
4. We may also prod our MD and Senior Partners for some nuggets of wisdom from time to time - they really do have some great stories, but we’ve heard them all already. So we thought they could share with you.
5. We may even indulge in some news about the excellent and engaging work we’re getting up to online and offline as well - if we’re feeling particularly modest that is.
6. And of course - we will share the linklove with our favorite blogs, websites, newsletters and e-zines, many of whom have been generating engaging, insightful content for many years and are far better at it than we are (for the time being). These will including the legendary Private Eye, Crikey, Mumbrella, Huffington Post, Politico.com or even the hilarious The onion, The Daily show, Punditkitchen and so on… we could go on and on. Maybe another post eh?
