Hi Mark and thanks for an intelligent approach. I agree with you, but sometimes I feel the lack of an audience, tha'ts the reason I try new platforms. In the Ninetie's in Sweden I wrote three or four articles a month for Swedens largest morningpaper, Dagens Nyheter, 400000 copies every day... It's difficult to substitute those numbers of readers :) Marc, what kind or articles you wanted? About the discussion about it's worth or not invest time and money in to be present in all those social media storefronts? Ana
