		<description>Garry,
That's a big question - I suggest you take a look at programs I offer at the URL below that can begin to answer that question for you.

http://www.EmpowernetInternetMastery.com.au/Memberships

But to give you a simple answer, a blog is an interactive experience where people like you can post comments and exchange thoughts and ideas with the blogger(s) quickly and easily.

A website on the other hand (usually) is static with information content that people can access at their leisure, but the interactivity is usually uni-directional.

Many people now have blogs without having a website because sophisticated blogs can have the benefits of BOTH.

That's a 'simple' answer to a complex question.

I hope that helps.

Onward and upward!
Dr Marc Dussault

		<description>Hi Marc,

Great ideas, rather than spending money on buying expensive Christmas presents, giving Christmas presents in the form of contribution to people who need it most is much more valuable and meaningful as there are many people who are less fortunate that need our help.

Thank you for suggesting the above...^_^

		<description>It is surprising that the survey showed that there are more male bloggers compare to female. Especially in Asia and Europe. It seems that more and more people like to blog and use it as a medium of communication and idea sharing.

		<description>Very interesting statistic! It is quite surprising that we better off eating our lunch in the bathroom rather than in the office...:) Not that we want to do that...but the result showed that the bathroom is actually cleaner than the office which is shocking.

Your strategy to use good statistic in the blog post is very good. I could use the same strategy for my site which gives information about mobile phone plans and what people MUST KNOW before they enter into any mobile phone contract.

Thank you for sharing the strategy, Marc.

		<description>Thanks for the beer John! When I was sitting at my desk today after the whirlwind of last week, my empty beer bottle caught my eye and I looked by blog.biz.
So for one of your customers it worked anyway.
Like the idea and thanks for the peak behind the scenes in making my personalised beer.
Extra points for spelling my name right as well.
Look forward to keeping up with all you have to offer ... though with you that is a challenge!
Feel free to test out any other marketing ideas at the Beach House ;)</description>

		<description>Woohooo.....beer....beer with my name on!

Damn shame I wasn't hear when you guys dropped in, sorry. You'll have to come back, and I can save it to chug when you're here.

Interesting idea. Wondering how scalable it is though? :)</description>
