I think this one is still standing true. I totally agree that your blog shouldn't be your only marketing message but it should be a part of it. Also, when I stopped worrying about the things you mention above, and started worrying about quality, original (ie. thinking for myself) content I really starting seeing my blog come to life.

We're in the early adopter phase. There's only between 4% and 12% that even know what they are, depending on which survey you believe, so it cannot be anywhere near over. Business' will be blogging in even greater numbers by the end of '06 and more in '07. Most fortune 500 CEO's are too stupid to figure out what a blog is and corporate IT's are just barely above that. Small business is leading the way and the big boys will swoop in like Al Gore and take all the credit within 12 months. Business blogging hasn’t even started yet.

The worst biz blogs are the "we'd better start a blog" blog. Blogs need to be part of the business strategy - not something to just be done with no forethought or planning! Well said!

Every once in a while, I write a post that gets noticed, and gets press. And I just love that. The whole blogging thing is really pushing my company forward and I like that my clients and business associates see me as transparant-- and I like that I read more and more and am able to take the best and write about it. I am hooked! I’ve been really lucky with my blog– I wrote as often as possible, and I seem to get a fair amount of visitors. Every once in a while, I write a post that gets noticed, and gets press.
