Some companies focus on the amount of research or capital that went into the development of their products. Companies need to stop talking about themselves and start focusing on their prospects. I don't care if your product is cool. I want to know how it will make my life easier. @ Ricardo

I think you are right.

No words can truly capture her spirit, her love of life or what she meant to everyone around her. Life is too quiet now. It's a silence felt every day. @Jason
You are exactly right. No words can truly capture her spirit, her love of life or what she meant to everyone around her. Life is too quiet now. It’s a silence felt every day.

I know how it is to have someone that important in your life.

I hope you took some time off to enjoy the day. My desk is getting better. It's the area around it that is starting to suffer. I'll have to do some End of Summer cleaning and get rid of the junk. I'll be taking a lot of pictures. @Marcia

My desk is getting better. It’s the area around it that is starting to suffer. I’ll have to do some End of Summer cleaning and get rid of the junk. I’ll be taking a lot of pictures.

I agree with you. Having a blog or site that prevents people from communicating with you is just advocating the same "Web 1.0" mind frame that social networking is supposed to eliminate. I'm not saying that the opinions of the "untouchables" don't add value to others, but social advertising is still just advertising. Why only commit to partial participation? People who express their opinions and close out their communities are not "talking to" people, they are "talking at" people. It's "do as I say and not as I do" all over again. It's true though, it doesn't really hurt them because we still want to follow them, learn as much as we can and become just as successful. @Jenn

People who express their opinions and close out their communities are not “talking to” people, they are “talking at” people. It’s “do as I say and not as I do” all over again.

I'm not exactly sure how you guys are defining "pro" blogger. I blog (that's not my only source of income) - and I'm definitely accessible in more places than just my blog. I run two Yahoo Groups where I have a very public presence. I'm on Twitter (follow me! jenngivler), and I contribute to conversations on my own blog as well as other blogs. I totally agree though - I've seen "untouchables" and resent the fact that they are inactive in the so-called community they are trying to build. I mean really, you want people to help you sustain your business i.e. buy your products, and you're going to tuck yourself away and not be bothered to immerse yourself in the world. Give me a break. Matt, unfortunately, it's NOT hurting these people... it's quite an interesting dynamic, really. I mean, Seth is still selling Millions of dollars worth of stuff - and he doesn't look like he's going to be walking around the community any time soon...
