Just plain missing the boat on this one. Thanks for your kind remarks and I will in fact be in touch to take you up on your offer of guest posting. I would be honored and thank you for making the offer.

I especially like the Bonus Point. Why Not. That should have been the first I think. So many companies do not want to take up blogging or Social Networking because they see nor real benefit. The do not see any direct ROI. They want sales immediately. Pitty hey, their loss. very nice post there Jimi. I especially like the Bonus Point. Why Not. That should have been the first I think.

Not many businesses are taking advantage of social media. The company I work for is against starting a company blog. I don’t understand why. We can blog about new projects, new development, software features advantages it’s really upsetting we are so stuck in the 19080’s around here. With that being said social media marketing is a must for all businesses no matter the size. This is a great way to find and convert leads for search engines and create a nice positive buzz about current products or company news. (Especially PR) Regarding your bonus question I simply cannot come up with one good reason to why a company wouldn’t want to start social marketing or blogging about their products and company. This was an awesome article I’m so happy to have you using blogengage.

Social media will just about become compulsory to get anywhere in business as time goes on. I can't imagine a world without social media anymore, such a great way to connect with others.
