With the adoption of Web 2.0, no longer can a company rely solely on their own marketing to establish an online profile and create company legitimacy and credibility. The read/write web has enabled anyone with an internet connection and a keyboard to become part of the conversation, and the reader is left with the daunting task of sorting through the fiction and non-fiction to arrive at an intelligent conclusion. Needless to say, this affords anyone with an opinion the opportunity to express it, regardless of whether it is beneficial to the web community in general.

The bottom line continues to be caution. Certainly there are benefits to having anyone and everyone weigh in on a subject, increasing the collective intelligence of the web and sorting the massive flux of information. But is there anything to stop misinformation and lies, besides one’s moral obligations? (more…)

Let me preface this post by saying I’m a big fan of Google and their online applications. Even Blogger, their online blogging software has its benefits, to some extent. Also, although my company offers business blogs as a service, this post is not about my company or our services, it’s about making the right business decision when it comes to implementing a business blog. An online business deserves every opportunity to become as successful as possible, and Blogspot.com just doesn’t offer the kind of support, services and features that are necessary to get the most out of this marketing device. I’m also not stating these reasons because I have studied other people’s experiences. I myself blogged for over three years using the Blogger service starting back in 2003, before it was even popular. That’s before I found Wordpress and became a 100% advocate of their open-source platform and content management system. So when you’re reading these opinions, rest assured it’s from someone familiar with the complete Blogger experience.

Hi iePlexus,

Just wanted to let you know how excited I am, not only in the amount of traffic to my site, but also the sales this past month. I never thought I would be getting customers at this point in time. What a great beginning.

Thank you iePlexus for all your help.

Hi iePlexus, how’s it going? I just wanted to tell you that I’m so excited to have the opportunity to work with you. I spoke with your references the other day and all they had to say were great things about you and how proud you both were of what you were able to accomplish together. So, I was pretty impressed to say the least. I would like you to take a look at our site again and tell me what you think, because I changed it up a bit. I need some feedback from someone who knows what they are talking about.

Thanks,
