So why are we here?

I was incredibly disappointed when I discovered that all of my 'status updates' on LinkedIn had disappeared! I had been acquiring a great set of retail and online marketing and advertising information with snippets of my opinion on them. I suppose now I must include a little more than a snippet and put them out here... permanently. Please forgive the multiple postings this evening as I am just copying over what I can remember and what remains from LinkedIn. From here on out though, I'll try to post something I find interesting in the world of advertising, and with luck, you will find it interesting too!
