Don’t be too embarrassed but I actually think that this blog is more honest, useful and intelligent than the blogs of most of the “gurus”. Wow. Your this post was very insightful.

I find that so interesting that a company as large as Ford is using "I" personas to blog. I'm sure that is incredibly effective! In the world of blogging, the faceless company just isn't as effective and the individual sharing their real-life story. I've done a lot of thinking about how bigger companies could put an "I" to their message - Ford's concept is a smart one. I wonder if it's a "real" person or a made up persona? Thanks so much for stopping by :) Ryan's blog is awesome - he's a great example of a wonderfully personable and engaging blogger! Hi Varan - Thanks so much for sharing your story!

I got to this blog from Ryan Healy's Five on Friday Issue... I've been blogging for few years now... From my experience Using I is really powerful. If you are not a Business Entity, you are better off using I, my ;). I remember when I started blogging, only skill I had was passion to share my observation with readers. It helped me start affiliate business. I pretty much disagree with Ankesh on this(sorry bro, I love your ideas and thoughts but not this time). Moreover I've noticed few companies(like Ford) are creating and using a character and promoting them. In case of ford, they have an employee sharing his farm life while he uses companies product. This is one of the tactics bodybuilding supplement companies uses a lot. They often publish a magazine (offline or Online) where they share workout plans which often needs their supplements. 2 examples that instantly comes to my mind are bodybuilding.com and t-nation.com Oh I just noticed, I use way too many I's...
