That said, I also think there can be other objectives to running a blog, and these can still, albeit indirectly, contribute towards your overall business success. Blogs are a great tool for branding, especially when combined with social media marketing. I agree with your basic notion there.

This reminds me of Lisa Simpson. Flanders called her "Springfield's answer to a question no one asked." As such, while she has a ton of potential, she's very unappreciated, much like those Google services. “They’re trying to solve a problem nobody has.”
