Also in my case often times some critical points require a bit of introduction to follow (ok maybe not for my posts but certainly for Marks ;-) and having the repository of prior posts to link to is a huge benefit vs. re-writing from scratch each time. <br><br>The only downtime to the "blogging saves me time" idea is that I find myself using the saved time to formulate more topics to blog. Guess that is a high class problem to have though.Meg Bearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484465525647257447.post-50959229741741114212008-02-29T07:24:59.000-08:002008-02-29T07:24:59.000-08:00I did meet a customer where they had all read my b...I did meet a customer where they had all read my blog and posted questions etc. They were in with the details and specifics of their situation before I even started up powerpoint. It was a very productive discussion - if a little exhausting.<br><br>It's interesting that they get to know a bit about you and where you're coming from, because you know nothing about them. I guess we're famous in our own tiny little micro bubble - I can still go to the supermarket without getting mobbed though :)David Haimeshttp://davidhaimes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484465525647257447.post-77409726067605593862008-02-29T06:21:56.000-08:002008-02-29T06:21:56.000-08:00Yes, I'm listening....and to me that's the...Yes, I'm listening....and to me that's the important part of your argument. Directing customers to your blog helps them understand where you are coming from. It also can get some of the basics covered so that when you meet with them, you are focused on listening to what really matters, and engaging in a better discussion.Gretchenhttp://human-strategies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484465525647257447.post-11504583913576764682008-02-28T21:26:51.000-08:002008-02-28T21:26:51.000-08:00Scability is a new one and interesting when you co...Scability is a new one and interesting when you compare your blog to internal repositories on the basis of ease of search. Again, it's the path of least resistance. <br><br>Google provides fast results, even if ultimately they're not the most accurate or relevant to the exercise at hand. Plus, a blog is more to the point and micro-focused than a design document, like Twitter when compared to a blog. So your posts get to the point much more quickly than a design document would.Jakehttp://oracleappslab.comnoreply@blogger.com
