Thanks for sharing Mack. Now we need to dig down for information that specifically deals with business readers. Demographics are nice but not really that helpful to most businesses.

You are one of a very few people that actually tries to show the real value businesses get from communicating with customers.

So many in the social media punditocracy have fled blogging for micro-blogging --- and that is showing up now when I talk to clients about other topics and they tell me they see blogging as being dead now that folks are moving to micro-blogging.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Toby, Tim is a great social media case study, as you know, and perfect for an audience of small business owners that have little resources. Shows them what is possible with little help and little budget, via blogging and social media.
