A Note to Readers All Content, All the Time Greetings, discerning readers. On tap this week is a bounty of articles about my favorite subject, content. We have a mix of content-specific…well, content this week: from the task of managing content, to why you need a business blog, to the legality of copying digital content, to the more simple task of writing a kicking sales letter. This week, we also kick off the first of an excellent four-part Premium series on the value of making your organization truly customer-centric. The first piece, by Michael Lowenstein, lays the groundwork for what you need to do to create, lead and maintain a customer-focused company. Take a look – it’s the best five bucks you’ll spend this summer! So – enjoy! And drop me a line to tell me what you think. As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged. Until next week, Ann Handley
