Totally agree, Debbie -- I've moved on (this was posted before our emails).

This has been so blown out of proportion as to be comical, if it weren't so painful for me. Two things: Tris got it right. The comment in my email "no need to say you know me" was a throwaway remark and a bit of a joke. It works fine in an email, but not when posted publicly on a blog. Second, traffic to GSK's alli blog is growing. Nowhere did I say there wasn't enough traffic. Third, let's move on...

That's it. Blame 300,000,000 Americans. For one email. It's our country's fault.

We American constantly send underhanded emails to our friends asking them to do unethical things. That' us.

But does that ever happen down under. Nooooooooo.

What I asked wasn't why you vlogged rather than writing, but why you were using video instead of audio.

G'day Tris, thanks for your comments. I've added some extra links to this post (second para) which updates the conversation. Thanks again for your views... now, if we could only solve my LiveWriter problem as painlessly [smile]

Hey Lee, Good summary of what I said. It's unfortunate how this happened. And I certainly feel for the folks at GSK blogging away and not getting traffic or comments--I think we can all relate to writing a great post and then not getting any comments or links--I still haven't left a comment and probably won't. Why? Eh, not really interested in the topic. What can I say about the product and since I was an industry insider for a long time (seven years), I'm not unbiased.

I think asking friends to visit a client's or a friend's blog to encourage them is fine. I think it's just how you do the asking.
