But... In spending time looking at lot of blogs, yes, there are those who execute in this model. More, and more, though I'm coming across ones orientated this way that is all fluff with very little original content.

A real lack of creative vision of what could be, and a whole lot more of cramming the same old down the funnel. Godin does a good job, as always, of describing this in Meatball Sunday. Jennifer,
