DJ, rock on my friend - keep writing these kinds of post. This is terrific. I'm going to link to this from my Dun & Bradstreet blog. Very helpful to get people thinking about the reality and importance of the social media space.

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on web-based SaaS apps and the way they are changing our way of work, our ways of selling, our marketing.

Marcia, this is so awesome. Thank you for grabbing some cool quotes and thoughts from other times and places in your other piece, too (the one with quote from Pascal, i think). There's a blogger that i really like who i'm going to send in here to read these Twitter posts. Just started following you on Twitter because you've added thoughts to the conversation that i hadn't even contemplated.

So often, i hear from entrepreneurs and business owners about their online lead generation efforts, pay-per-click, and other methods to generate new sales.

It is pretty common to hear about thousands of dollars being spent to build a list, but then never thinking about how to manage that list of prospects for the long term. I believe the answer resides in thinking about others buy cycles, processes and professional needs.
