One answer: Simply because it is easy to engage in activities that are not productive. This is true especially when it comes to activities that are geared towards building engagement with the other person. Sometimes, it is easy to think you are engaged when you are not even on the other person's radar.

Photo by JeffBelmonte. Some people say the recession means the end of business as usual. I disagree. Of course, if your idea of business as usual was like Lou 's - a steady job, predictable market and rewards for hard work, keeping your head down and your nose clean - then it probably feels like the world has been turned upside down by recent events.

Blogs and Twitter have almost eliminated any barrier to publishing. You have an idea and in a few minutes your thoughts can be online. Think about it – with every person thinking about more than 50,000 thoughts a day, producing online content can be simple. Maybe.
