You raised a lot of good points even though your prompt was pushed by a survey that doesn't make much sense.<BR/><BR/>The same issues will be discussed over and over and over again. There is nothing you or I can do about it. <BR/><BR/>If we could, the all-to-often offline question by public relationsRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249654290264168416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282351.post-68282068957669501692008-12-14T08:18:00.000-08:002008-12-14T08:18:00.000-08:00tools are tools, people are people. for me, i gues...tools are tools, people are people. for me, i guess my "scolding" was more of a rant. i'm tired of the same old same old from communicators. it's sad to see over and over again.Geoff_Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544330173671071491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282351.post-24192634611301076042008-12-13T08:37:00.000-08:002008-12-13T08:37:00.000-08:00Kami, I really liked your post, especially the def...Kami, <BR/><BR/>I really liked your post, especially the definitions and examples of positive solutions that can help make a corporate blog more than hard sales. It sits comfortably in the middle for that reason. <BR/><BR/>It would have been an excellent post, on its own, without the Forrester study.<BR/><BR/>There certainly are reasons to talk about yourself or, um, talk about yourself that Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249654290264168416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282351.post-39086213630189758922008-12-13T07:28:00.000-08:002008-12-13T07:28:00.000-08:00Ah, so you don't trust the Forrester analysis?
