You're just addressing his concerns conceptually). When he talks about blogs, he's not talking about you, Jo, he's talking about companies trying to open up their organization with "transparent" publicity practices. If people can come up with good reasons not to do what he says, he's fine with that, too--his articles are meant to be used as ammunition by downtrodden web lackeys who are tired of the CEO telling them to make the homepage spin and make lots of noise. Heh. Silly Jakob. Jakob’s pronouncements make sense when you accept the audience he’s speaking to–the people behind business websites (and I think this is something you know, FP, right?

A lot of those points apply to a very narrow definition of what blogging is for that most blogs I read wouldn't fit into at all.
