Thanks for the comment and the insight.  You are right.  I really appreciate the role that you play in educating the marketplace about social media.

I&#039;ve been sitting on the sidelines a little trying to figure out &quot;what I want to do when I grow up&quot;.  I think I&#039;m getting there.

		<description>Well said, Wes.

I favorited a Tweet the other day, from @portentint . He wrote,

&quot;Starting a blog doesn&#039;t make you a visionary. It makes you a typist.&quot;

Had to laugh a few years ago at a marketing firm that asked me to write a press release because &quot;they started a blog.&quot; I didn&#039;t write the release, telling them that it wasn&#039;t news. Not even close!

They argued with me, we parted company. 

Today, they have the blog, with a few posts. Last post in 2005.

It&#039;s sad how many folks in &quot;marketing&quot; or &quot;advertising&quot; still just don&#039;t get it!</description>
