I'm a super huge fan of Tom Peters. I attended one of his speaking engagements in 1995. This seminar and his book The Pursuit of Wow! were largely responsible for me starting Clarity Quest a few years later. However, I don't know what he and his team are thinking on his new website. Did anyone tell him that red is the most difficult color to read? I know the exclamation marks are his brand element, but using them in the navigation menu is completely over the top. There's so much information on this site, I easily lose interest because I can't quickly figure it out.Ok, maybe I'm ADD after a long day but compare Tom's site to Seth Godin's. I think you'll see the huge difference. Labels: better marketing presentations, blogs, gurus, michigan web design, pursuit of wow, readability, seth godin, tom peters, user interface, web 2.0

According to Forrester, 11.2% of online adults in the U.S. publish a blog at least once a month. Of the same group, 24.8% read a blog and 13.7% comment on a blog at least once a month. The numbers are higher for youths. Of online youths, 20.8% publish a blog, 36.6% read a blog, and 26.4% comment on a blog at least once a month.
However the complete Business Week article details why some businesses are shifting from blogs to social media sites. It's an interesting idea now that Twitter posts are being indexed by Google and only takes seconds to write compared to the longer time commitment for a well-written blog post.
