I've already found Broadstuff a couple of weeks ago and have been following your posts with interest. No, nothing wrong with selling things, and my intent was not to seem anti-business. However, that will be a product of having a site that's helpful, human, interesting, authentic and two-way. It's not a question of the site saying "here's some user-generated gubbins, now buy this" as point three suggests. Thanks, Alan.

Anyway, I reference this post in a post I did <a>here at Broadstuff</a> Interesting site btw! Ian,

Yes, of course companies need to see the commercial sense in looking at these approaches. However, I stand by the view that Web 2.0 offers companies a lot more than a more efficient sales tool.

But then again, agitators for adopting social web approaches do need to sell them in to pretty negative people. If "flogging more stuff" helps there argument, then I can understand it.
