Do we pigeon-hole ourselves if we do our jobs too well? Don't worry... I'll keep talking about me. I'm good at it at least.

I agree that people connect with people better than with a product or company. At some point, people DO anthropomorphize products/companies, at least in the case of human-computer interaction. I'm not sure to what extent this happens with other types of products, though I'd love to find out. Be self-centered all you want - </em>I<em> enjoy it. ;) Tim, thanks for the comment and bringing up the point of human connection.

Sincerely. I do wish the small market was bigger. If things keep growing there, we'll have to be more involved. I'd personally like to do a smaller size bike- my daughter will be big enough to ride a road bike in another couple years. The dialogs that we have in the online world are very complex, for sure. My various blogs range from full-on personal to more professional and less personal content. The company website now has a blog as the home page and I try not to put too much "I/me" into those posts. I can get as self-centered as I want on my other blogs. I think the value of "what I'm doing/ eating/ thinking" posts varies from reader to reader. I am always shocked at what I am told people remember from my various blog posts. Some people remember the product or my travels and others remember seeing pictures of me in the hospital. But for me, the value I try to deliver is the relationship people get to have with the brand through their interactions with me. People connect with people far better than they do with just a product or company. At least, that's what I'm hoping! Ah, thanks for the mention and kind words. Sincerely.
