		<description>Hello... you made some excellent points!  Agree that we need to go and participate in our communities.  We (my company) are big on customization and localization!  No other way to do business... it has to be for the community.

		<description>Advertising is becoming a battle between brands for what little open space is left in the mind of the consumer. Ads are becoming less effective because of the numerous products fighting for brand preference. It’s overwhelming and frustrating.

Blogs are quickly becoming the quaint essential product guide fro consumers who want an unbiased perception.</description>
