As the more of them you have, the more of your time is split up amongst them, giving them less time to really get to know you in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12415793.post-45082569187842063962010-03-08T23:46:35.783-08:002010-03-08T23:46:35.783-08:00You gotta update this blog more often.

There are perfectly valid reasons for wanting the companies you like to succeed. That said, there are both good and bad ways to offer word-of-mouth recommendations that people around you will take seriously.Lawmunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665582694142905655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12415793.post-49900867562862755062010-02-08T08:06:41.205-08:002010-02-08T08:06:41.205-08:00I completely agree.

I wrote a blog post recently about a study I found on Kotaku about it- not surprisingly, people trust their friends over advertisements when it comes to choosing which video games to play. http://kotaku.com/5428141/word-of-mouth-sells-the-most-video-games?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+kotaku%2Ffull+%28Kotaku%29Laureninpacehttp://www.laurenraeorsini.comnoreply@blogger.com
