They don't realize they need to actually write good content and market their blog to start obtaining things that blogs provide fruitfully such as links, community, etc. It seems businesses have this convoluted idea that if they install a blog then everything after that is just peachy.

You also struggle with the inability to take a more personal approach at times. Then again, if you incorporate a forum within your blog community, the odds of your site becoming stickier and people returning regularly increases.

My best business relationships (and sense of being involved) come from personal contact, not blogs. I tend to agree with Nicole.

I'm not too sure about the last post either. I wonder how much genuine feedback you can garner through blogs. Building a community over a business blog is extremely tough.

Consider most companies cant manage a forum effectively, a blog is great way to "talk" to your buyers and users, while allowing them to chat back to you.

I think blogs can create a sense of community, but to do so you need to go beyond the usual post/comment setup. But I do think it can be done. Andy I agree on that first point.

We agree that many bloggers do not create a sense of community. Overall this is a major challenge for us and many other blogs out there. 2008 will be the year that companies finally understand that blogging is about reputation and generating new business from the search engines.
