		<description>If I may - we&#039;re all so focusd on social media and consulting and services. Lets talk about products.

Lets think about a big businesses that sell product instead of social media information - like brogan and all the other A listers.   These customers need a site where customers can see their stuff, get information and ask questions. I doubt that&#039;s a blog - and if it is - well, than that&#039;s not really a blog anymore, its a selling website. At least IMHO it is.   Once you startactively selling a product on a blog - you lose objectivity, and more likely your audience.

AA list blogger are, well, bloggers.  What A-list blogger would think they need a website?  Probably as many as product companies think they need a blog:):)  
Different audiences want different information. If I&#039;m coming to a site to buy a product - I don&#039;t want to read a blog about the state of the market. If Im coming to Mark&#039;s blog to read his brilliant opinions - the last thing I want is to have him sell me some product. 

Right on with your comments Mark - and yes, I&#039;m still revamping my WEBSITE.  Blog will be there too - but so much more!  

Different audiences want and need different content ad wish to take different actions.  We need to provide an integrated site where everyone can find everything they want and need. 

Wow - aren&#039;t we back to marketing 101 again:)
