And speaking of blogs, just when you thought there was a chance that traditional businesses were starting to get internet marketing, Business Week says, not so fast -- we still don't have a clue. In an article this week, one business week writer lists 10 Tech solutions your Small Biz Can't Use. Among them? Spam filters, blogs, search engine optimization, AdWords, and online video. What? To save you time, I already checked the date of the article -- it's January 4th, not April first, so this February foolishness is not an april fool's joke. Not funny. Sad.
