It's also one of the frictions that I see between marketing fishbowlers and normal people. We see all these Web2.0 tools as great ways to connect with current and potential customers in places that are more targeted to their interests and with better timing. Normal people just see a cool new site, tool, or place to connect with friends. Bringing marketing into these spaces does need to be done carefully. And, with some perspective outside the fishbowl.

I have very few friends who read blogs or listen to podcasts. I think Google is a more exciting tool but as a “normal” reader I stick with Yahoo because everything works.
