Rather I try not to take calls from telemarketers....I still use the phone. In fact, the phone can be used for many different things, all of which "I" can decide. The blog world can be used for many things as well, both good and bad. We need to decide if contribution is our goal or if self promoting agendas are it, or even if it is to be used to complain. However, if we choose to use a blog for one's specific use, we cannot expect that all others conform to "our" purpose of the blog content. I hope this is as clear as mud!

Junk food intellectualism, two minutes to wisdom, catch phrases and trends fill the mindspace of would be business people looking for a shortcut. It all leaves me unsatisified and wanting to go back to reading classics where content played a bigger role than buzz. Although all the lets be chill/cool/friends speak make me warm and fuzzy.

I can add that the most effective way to get an idea is by monitoring what your customers are doing. Ask them about the problems, challenges and fears that they're having. Listen to their responses: this alone will give you enough innovation and work to last a year! Joe Great post!
