Without getting into the debate on blogketing (I’ll save that for another post), I was pretty impressed by Chuck Hollis’ recent post on ILM. I think he’s made a good discussion of the wherefores of ILM, and maybe counteracted a bit of the prevailing anti-I

Nice blog. I read them all, and you've got a pretty simpatico perspective, as well as nice writing style. Not just because you happen to occasionally agree with me!
I don't know where the "anti-ILM" vibe came from. Maybe from certain vendors, or others that just want to be cantankerous (like Mr. Toigo). It certainly didn't seem to come from users -- they still find it an interesting topic, and I don't think it's gonna go away any time soon.

So, a couple of thoughts on blogging in general.
As a corporate blogteker (or blogverstiser?) I don't find too much tension in having plenty to say that's of moderate value, and my role as a spokesperson for the company. I'll never be Truly Independent, but -- then -- is anyone these days?
One suggestion might be a bit more on who you are, what you do for a living, etc. Always nice to know who you're talking to, right?
The other is forcing people to sign up for a WordPress account just to leave a comment. I know I'll forget my details in about 30 seconds, meaning I'll have to reregister at some point. Darn annoying, it is.
Hence why many of us use TypePad.
Keep up the good work!
