A word on our mission

ABM is thrilled about the attention garnered by MediaPace in its first week. Thanks to the media outlets for discussing it, and to the hundreds who have visited so far. Some comments have been valuable, some have been more like calling a puppy ugly when discussing the pound. But that's what you get when you open up a free discussion.

It is our goal to make this a forum for discussion on critical issues - very much in the vein taken by David Shaw. Although critiques on things like writing, grammar, and metaphors are appreciated and absorbed, it is the strategic stuff we are after - even the place of blogs like this one in business, as discussed by Online Media Daily recently, is valuable stuff.

I'm thrilled to see the first external links on your blog.
And I'm very happy to see that David Shaw is among the first to attract your attention.

Thanks for the link. I'll continue to refer to your blog where appropriate.

I would like to note that comments from other bloggers on matters of writing and style aren't about "calling a puppy ugly." Those of us out there blogging b2b media (and there really aren't that many) care pretty deeply about how b2b media is represented. It's truly important to get the style and clarity thing down, especially since you're blogging b2b media in an official capacity.

Of all the b2b media blogs, yours will be looked to by advertisers and agencies (and publishers) as an example of how well b2b media 'gets it' and how well we execute in the blogosphere.
