You think? I'd say any marketer who isn't running blog alerts on all clients ought to be replaced pronto. Or maybe there's a great consulting market for people like us to explain to these old school marketers how to keep up in this new digital world. I hadn't heard about Schilling's blog. Interesting! “Do you think that might be a sign that it’s time to get a new marketing representative?”

Speaking of digital foreigners, this article quotes "Arenas' marketing representative, Paisley Benaza... who she says only recently learned what a blog was."
