But also, what is the effort level required to maintain a presence through a Blog and/ or Twitter operations. Is there a ratio of Hours/Person per blog user intervention? This is crucial information particularly for small companies. Best regards Jacques Hello Dawn,

As a follow-up to Neha’s question, I am pretty much in the same situation of a B2C operation in the Natural Health Supplements business and I am looking for information , “stats to support the relevance of Blogs” in the particular domain of natural Health Products and Herbal Medicine.

But also, what is the effort level required to maintain a presence through a Blog and/ or Twitter operations. Is there a ratio of Hours/Person per blog user intervention? This is crucial information particularly for small companies.

Best regards

Let me be very honest I am new to the blog sphere and am looking to implement blogs in my company also. But before pitching it to management there are few queries in my mind that are still unaddressed. How can an IT Services company get benefited from blog implementation, since what you mentioned looks more oriented towards a product or a B2C company than a services or B2B company? Do you have any stats that can support the relevance of Blogs in an IT services company? Can you or someone in community provide valuable inputs on this? Thanks Neha Hey Dawn,

So it is not surprising that once you get out of the high technology arena you'll find less especially small businesses without website much less a blog. I think, as more and more from Gen X and Y start to run businesses, we'll see a shift in the way businesses implement technology. Dawn:

I did a post a while back on <a href="http://fastwonderblog.com/2008/07/13/social-media-policy-does-your-company-need-one/" rel="nofollow">social media policies / guidelines</a> for employees. I like the ones that you've developed at LiveWorld, and it's always great to see examples of policies in use. Bryan,
