An external perspective is always useful to firms' marketing...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Hi Gregory - I think you misunderstand the role and nature of influencers, at least as far as this blog is concerned. Perhaps you should peruse some of the other posts in this blog. For the record, "Sucking up" is not a strategy I advocate. Influencers don't "sell" anything. Following anyone blindly is a recipe for disaster, but so is following no-one (IMO). But thanks for introducing some colourful language to this blog.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34850578/6474078523115256185/comments/default/9216297652275741402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34850578/6474078523115256185/comments/default/9216297652275741402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://infuse3.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-all-to-do-with-alignment.html?showComment=1222687500000#c9216297652275741402' title=''/><author><name>Duncan Brown</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01014293085026760114</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07764258330014858717'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://infuse3.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-all-to-do-with-alignment.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34850578.post-6474078523115256185' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34850578/posts/default/6474078523115256185' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34850578.post-191197008906710080</id><published>2008-09-27T00:37:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T00:37:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>yes, sucking up to the influencers is really a gre...</title><content type='html'>yes, sucking up to the influencers is really a great strategy.  we all love brown-nosers and want to buy what they have to sell ...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;huh? ...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;by the time anybody gets the influencer tag, they are already dated, and following them is a recipe for failure ...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;ignore the influentials, start your own kingdom ...</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34850578/6474078523115256185/comments/default/191197008906710080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34850578/6474078523115256185/comments/default/191197008906710080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://infuse3.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-all-to-do-with-alignment.html?showComment=1222472220000#c191197008906710080' title=''/><author><name>gregory</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14408369948377761936</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://infuse3.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-all-to-do-with-alignment.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34850578.post-6474078523115256185' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34850578/posts/default/6474078523115256185' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34850578.post-4820234694077580902</id><published>2008-09-26T20:25:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-26T20:25:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Great thoughts.
