Why do I need a blog since I am using all of those other tools to interact with consumers?

Well… I have a few ideas.  I already have a pretty full schedule of social networking events… and so now I get to add Active|Rain activities to it… and I’m really excited about that.

Actually, as soon as the training call that I missed comes online, I am going to listen to that, but I still have some ideas…
