A business with an easily accessible blog tells the customer that this is a business that cares. A static website can be a pretty thing, full of information, but unless it's updated frequently, the customer is left feeling that this is a company that put out a sign and then walked away from it. A blog is a friendly and informative extension of a business, and a frequently updated and changed blog tells the customers that this is a business that keeps on top of things and wants its customers to be informed of the latest, too. A business with a frequently and regularly updated blog is a business that wants its customers to know what's going on. I know these things for a fact.

Sorry not everyone can read my sarcasm sometimes. Yes I realize that there a many more than one or two. Find for me if you will any blogs that were live blogging that were answering questions, or providing information about the products that the others were privy to seeing? I was merely trying to find THE AUTHORITY from Adobe on the Engage discussion. It wasn't there. I don't want the influentials selling my message, I want to be selling it. Where was Adobe's interaction? James,

It's not enough just to say that companies need to blog. By give these mini-case studies targeting a specific company, hopefully you'll get them to change their ways, and maybe even get other companies excited to see if you'll cover them. I was doing something similar re web feeds and pointing companies that really should have one. This was at an RSS weblog I wrote at last year. Jim, this is brilliant what you’re doing.

I guess I'm confused about the participation of the Adobe group in conversing with the rest of the conversation. Is there a place where other bloggers can be privy to the information you are making available to the rest of the cool kids? There seems to be a huge buzz about the Engage event but it seems that the company is not quite in that loop. I do appreciate your correcting me about the other links however.

Remember, they've always been a print company first - even though software like Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat are web standards. Their purchase of Macromedia - presumably to get their hands on Flash and some of the server-side software - confuses things even more, if you ask me. Maybe they're not engaged in the conversation because they don't know where they fit. Personally, I'd like to see Adobe move deeper into web-based software - and more specifically applications targeting the blogosphere. Imagine what they could offer with Flash. We'll just have to see what happens. It's truly odd that such a heavy-weight, industry leader like Adobe would be dragging their feet on web apps.
