Anyone,you or a webmaster, can throw up a website,inviting you to "buy". But when I see a blog ,as an added feature on a website, I'm anxious to visit it to learn more about the people involved with the company. This is one reason you see more corporations hiring their own bloggers. They want to impart a sense of comfortability and trust. A blog to me, is like walking into a brick and mortar business, and meeting the owner in the backroom office,where he or she tells me the intimate details of their business and gives me an appreciation for their products. One way people can get over this "blog snobbery" is to figure out what their customer really wants to know and use the blog to show they care.
