Why 'Bottom Up' is on its way up

This new style of business, birthed by the Internet, is ignored at any company's peril.

I love these sayings. "Do it or die!"

Customers today have more options and less loyalty. They will migrate to businesses that see them as participants in a process rather than as just consumers.

Somebody once said, they, "don't want to be a customer anymore!" But this was nearly four years ago.
Can people finally be catching on to this simple clue train stuff? If they are, both companies and consumers, I wonder if (our) world will be filled with the products we want at the prices we want them. Followed by a feeling that we have helped, that we have been a part of the process, then we'll have swallowed the hyperaffilate bait, hook line and sinker. Is this to be the post modernist consumer society? Bottom up?

No. This is simply market forces. Companies who solicit feedback on the internet are merely marketing, but in real time, rather than pouring over dry stats and hoping their focus groups are speaking for the masses.

Still, it's a great way of holding consumer attention. But wouldn't you get pissed off if the big company didn't add your 'die for' feature? Well, that's politics for you, and this is where companies are heading.

Big List of Blog Search Engines

"Following are all the blog search engines, directories, and web-based RSS aggregators I could find, along with brief instructions on getting your site listed."

I counted 31 such services. As I've got several hundred blogs on my manila servers, I'm going to have to do this programmatically. And, very, very carefully :-)
