It was only a 25 minute slot, which is short, but I delivered it in about 15 minutes, so we had time for some good questions.

Anyway, I admire TJ for his smarts and entrepreneurial spirit. He&#8217;s always got something cooking, and it&#8217;s usually pretty interesting. He blogs on the Dun &#038; Bradstreet content portal called AllBusiness.com. He ran an article called <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090703122536\/http:\/\/www.allbusiness.com\/marketing-advertising\/marketing-advertising\/11542041-1.html\" title=\"Why Bother with Blogging or Social Media\"><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Why Bother with Blogging or Social Media<\/span><\/a>.
