Blogging for Business: How to Humanize Your Business and Connect with Customers
"I think the angle about humanizing is interesting here...and very true when it comes to blogging. Creating a voice for one's business and personal brand are critical. Not easy things to be faked or automated. And it is inadvisable to try."The 68 Most Influential Small Business Leaders on Twitter
"Duncan, There's a Wall Street Journal article that goes into a bit more depth about how the list was compiled. It is in one of our Small Business Trends roundups for last week, "More Tips for the Online Entrepreneur" on July 4. I may post it here also a bit later."Why Entrepreneurs Need Friends
