The Voice of the People Sure, infomercials include a lot of patter from the host (and his trusty sidekick, the otherwise-out-of-work-former-TV-hostess). The hosts on infomercials are playing to lonely sleepless people, and while you know the products are most likely cheap or sketchy, there's an allure there. Take a look at Zappos.

From what I’ve heard and read, one of the largest hurdles to clear is getting leadership to buy off on Web 2.0, How did you determine whether to host the blog on a.gov or a.com server? How did you resolve the various reporting/privacy requirements of hosting comments on a.gov server? That made things much easier.

Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral). Buy something, get something. Another great way to do this is to host polls where you can get customer feedback. Growth can be a good thing.
