So, you read a rave or a rant about your production on some random blog? What effect does that really have?

Do you think they are more influenced by a Ben Brantley review or by a positive or negative post on Gawker? Hmmm.

The blog market has exploded and, while over hyped, is a force to be reckoned with. With RSS fees making their content even more viral, we need to keep a very close eye on this market to help shape positive word of mouth.
