At first I thought the above was Dave L.'s written work and replied. Then I thought I was wrong so deleted it. I went to his blog and found that yes it was his. Sigh. Confusion is easy in the paradigm of the information age as there is so much information that it tires our systems out. I also had a chuckle visiting Dave's web page which I got to after threading into twitter. The red writing is so small my old eyes just see a jumble of letters. That may be intentional considering his book title. It looks a little like NLP at work. I was intrigued enough to pursue and that is the intention of marketing online. I rarely buy in because I enjoy exploring without committing in this field. I wish all of you every success you feel you need.</p> I wrote a long winded response and deleted it.

Dave Lakhani is one of my favorite marketers because I believe he is thoughtful, always testing and learning, generous with his expertise and information. His points are very well taken by this partly info-marketer, especially ,do I matter to my market and if so how best to keep it that way. While all of the social media outlets have the element of fun cause they are newish--and heck, twitter is just fun--as well as being a conundrum. They work if you use them wisely but must take their place within the marketing mix not to the exclusion of it. Dave also speaks to way some do social networking, they turn it into a numbers game, completely irrelevant but uber visible. (Ok they might be relevant to people who watch these contests like some reality show) So good to have the accessibility for sure. How else could we engage someone like Dave, or Seth Godin-whom I know has replied to a post or comment of yours. Only because we are doing our best to play within the suggested rules of etiquette and professionalism tho. Great stuff as always and Dave, you helped me by parsing so many of the details of this new media--or new arm of the media should I say.</p> So glad you pointed us to this E.
