		<description>Spot on. Sure, you need to &#039;manufacture&#039; online presence upto an extent - and the above tips help - but nothing quite like a useful/gripping/engaging experience. The core of the product needs to be what the user keeps returning for as well talking to others about. Spend time on getting that right, first.</description>

		<description>Nice article. I believe that online business is all about two things: a really useful product/service and showing up proper standard of the company (through above mentioned tools). 

Users need to be assured that they can trust in the brand for its service and usefulness. That doesn&#039;t mean the brand has to be well-known but company&#039;s standard is often visible right at their home page.

If you take a look at some of the web startups in the west, they all have their websites with high level of standards (quality) along with social media.</description>

		<description>Very true.A website is increasing more and more important.It helps users and visitors spread the message faster.

I think I heard some speaker(Seth Godin probably)say that for a startup&#039;s message to spread - it must be remarkable - &#039;remark&#039;able - literally.There must be something interesting for a visitors to make a remark about the website to the person&#039;s friend circle.</description>

		<description>I agree with this article. You web presence starts of with a well though off url with a functional website. 

Like Seth Godin puts it, if you do not have a great product no amount of marketing will save you. Case in E.g Windows Vista. Great Products sell. Design Thinking is the way forward.</description>

		<description>Hi,

This is a really nice article.

re newsletters
apart from mail chimp, can you suggest any free/paid bulk mailing stand alone software (rather than depending upon web based mailing sites)
to send mailers to exisitng clients.

i have tried many web based ones, but now i prefer to use a stand alone pc based software.

kidnly share your views.

		<description>IMO - The online identity is built by what you do offline. How much do you connect with people, talk to peers, make a concerted attempt to show your face wherever your customers are present. 

Another is that your identity is your product -- as one of the product gurus (dont recollect his name) once said, &quot;Half the battle of online presence is the product.&quot; 

The reason people do not show up on your www, do not open your newsletters, and do not talk about your product in the social media circles is that they&#039;re not having any positive experience with it.

2 cents,
Indus</description>
