I never rely on any company to tell me about the quality of their product – only to inform me that their product exists. Companies just cannot be trusted to give unbiased information. They will lie, cheat, steal and do whatever else it takes to increase their profits and maximize the number of shareholders. Now I fully realize there are companies out there that are actually honest and care more about customer satisfaction and producing quality products than raking in profits. To these companies I apologize. Unfortunately you have to work extra hard to gain the consumers trust in an environment where greed is the primary motivating factor.

Thank god for the internet. In a time where its so easy to access almost limitless information about a product or service, Im sure companies are having to scramble to keep us looking at their advertising and away from the opinions of unbiased consumers. I’m hopeful that more companies will take the stance that its smarter to spend more money on quality and customer service and less on slick crafty deceptive advertising. For these will be the companies I continually seek out.

Some of you may not be familiar with what a ‘blog’ is. Basically it’s just a log or journal or diary that happens to be written, published and managed on the web. ‘Web log’ shortened down to simply ‘Blog’. It’s very easy for anyone to simply log into a special web section of a site to write something and hit a ‘publish’ button in order to put your words on the site. These posts are organized in many ways such as tags and dates and categories. For instance if you like to write about different things you can tag a post with a keyword in order to filter all such posts in the future if you want to search for something. People visiting the site can then comment on your post and you can respond as well. You will see many of these features here already and more will come up later.
