Thank you, David and Wayne.

Informative, illuminating, and entertaining posts like the ones on your sites are probably keeping me in front of the computer longer than I should be, but I end up feeling good about it. I’ve come up with some new approaches to problems and some new ways to think about business from visits to your blogs. It’s much appreciated.

Thanks, Bill, for citing my blog, The Moral Shift in Marketing: From Hucksterism to Healing. By my lights, this trend reflects our entry into a new cultural age I term “The Age of Transcendence.” Signs are aplenty that business, in tandem with society at-large, is moving away from the materialistic foundations of 20th century society. I can list a dozen and a half or more recent business books that evidence this moral transformation.

Hi Katherine. I’ve been enjoying your posts regardless of their frequency. The “decent marketing” theme of your page is refreshing and it’s nice to hear your perspective.

I’m hoping to learn more marketing from some of the many blogs I’ve been visiting. I have some business experience, and a little too much learning in the law, but not the types of experiences that I’ve been reading about on a lot of these blogs.

It has been nice to try to implement some of the things I’ve been learning from all of you. I have you, and a good number of other business bloggers to thank for being such inspirational motivators. Thanks to you.

Thanks for the plug Bill! Isn’t it amazing how much thinking is going on? I often wonder how some of my peers find the time to be so prolific, when I only manage to get off one or two posts a week, if that. My favorite thing about these blogs is the honesty — people just saying what they think without regard to office politics and the like. It’s good to have an honest and open dialogue about what is happening in marketing. Thanks for contributing to it.

Thanks for your kind words, Michele!

It was a fun post to write, and all of the great articles I came across, including many I didn’t write about, made the effort well worth the time spent.

I think that we’re fortunate these days that so many people are writing so well about things they feel so passionately about.

Your post about the marketing of joint replacement technology, for instance, presents a perspective on a company’s activities that we can all learn from, and appreciate.

Please, keep on with the great posts, and I’ll keep on stopping by.
