But it's a lot cheaper to be uninspiring on a blog than on network TV.<br /><br />Conversely, there are a lot of inspiring people and businesses who can't afford to run TV spots, yet I'm aware of them because they have blogs worth reading. In fact, that reminds me of one.Jon Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249997465016074955.post-49736967500630381902014-03-03T03:43:47.624-08:002014-03-03T03:43:47.624-08:00Yes. Exactly. And while we're on the subject, ...Yes. Exactly. And while we're on the subject, let's talk about those useless Yellow Pages. Or signs! Oh man, road signs are just the worst. But I guess you kinda have to have one. For that matter, a name for your business is total bullshit too. I make things. I don't have to have a name. It's just those Madison Avenue types telling me I need one, right?<br /><br />... I enjoy most of your posts, but this one is the "best." I mean, on the 27th you say yourself that the Web is a "Much better yellow pages." The Yellow Pages were only the primary source of new and repeat business for a quarter century. And saying the Web is much better than them for helping people learn about the location, hours, services and the very existence of your company means absolutely nothing. Really, when was the last time you got directions or a phone number, NOT on the web.Jedi Gorillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249997465016074955.post-64942719107623454822014-02-27T23:31:46.723-08:002014-02-27T23:31:46.723-08:00Only if you consider time as having no cost.
