I'm going to declare that anybody invoking the 'competitor comments' as a reason not to start a business blog should be walked out on mid-meeting. These people are incessant problems-under-the-carpet-sweepers. They shouldn't be let anywhere near a blog if truth be told. Business blogging is an antidote to this kind of thinking, not an enabler of it. The TSA Blog is fantastic - probably for all the wrong reasons, but I still love this as a tagline: "<em>Terrorists Evolve. Threats Evolve. Security Must Stay Ahead. You Play A Part.</em>" Then, after that particularly austere warning you get jaw-droppingly unfunny pun posts about <a href="http://www.tsa.gov/blog/2008/06/why-did-chicken-cross-road.html" rel="nofollow">exploding chickens</a>. I take it that's me on the no-fly list. Also, if there's one place to catch an STD online then it's probably Second Life. So, it's kudos to the Aids.gov Blog for starting up a presence there. But that Gov Gab Blog has me hooked. I'm a sucker for government policy wrapped up in mindless waffle. It really is a stroke of genius. You two – get a room.

Everyone should! The best part about what we are doing is that along with the "Oops" letter, they receive a bank branded first aid kit, to "fix the boo boo" that we may have caused.  It adds a small touch of humor to a possibly tense situation.  Justin,
