Ewwww! Blogs in the headlights of a marketing guru

September 23rd, 2004 · 1 Comment

This is not how I like to think of bloggers:

Remember, a blog is basically a diary that logs consumer narratives on a public, non-erasable hard-drive known as the Internet. A good percentage of blog content reflects consumer experiences with “branded” products or services.

Hey, I know lots of folks with similarly sharp focus. I know people who think:

  • Weekends are basically time to spend getting drunk.
  • Women are basically an opportunity to get a look at their breasts.
  • Mornings are basically time to waste writing long blog posts. (heh)

People who focus too narrowly miss a lot.
