You should notice that I’m switching over to a new service called Feedblitz. If you are subscribed via bloglet, your subscription has already been transferred to Feedblitz….UNLESS you subscribed anonymously.

"But Dave, What if I don’t remember if I subscribed anonymously?"

For a few days, I’ll keep both services active. If you get this post via Bloglet and NOT via Feedblitz, you’ll likely need to resubscribe.

Or, check your junkmail filter and make sure the Feedblitz email is not marked as junk or spam.

WHY am I doing this? Feedblitz seems to be taking a more pro-active approach to make sure the posts arrive and you will also get images.

Let’s give a big bloggy welcome to Holly Buchanan and her Marketing to Women Online blog!

She and Michele Miller have picked up on a Brand Autopsy story about Ann Taylor using a persona for each of their retail divisions. It’s hard enough explaining to someone what I mean when I’m developing personae for clients, but Holly does a terrific job of explaining why it should be a plural word instead of singular.

"The more you speak to the average, the more average your message becomes."

Thanks to Chris Busch for pointing out this story from the Eide Neurolearning Blog.  Read it. It’s long, it’s detailed. Here’s the bottom line (literally the last paragraph in the story).

In conclusion, it looks as if blogging will be very good for our brains. It holds enormous potential in education, and it could take societal communication and creative exchange onto a whole new level.

There you have it. If you are just a blog-reader and not a blog-writer, you could be single-handedly holding back the progress of all mankind.

By the way, Chris was in my first class and has posted 164 stories to his blog since August.
