Atul,

It gets harder and harder to reply to every comment I receive, which is a shame, but I hope that people understand the time constraints. Thanks for visiting.

David to be honest with you I am blog hopping at the present time. I am sampling blogs related to advertisement.
What I find honest and good about your blog is that you take the trouble to read each comment. This may not be possible once the numbers become large.
Kathy’s comment that honesty is required because of the Web seems off.
As for another comment that brands need to be honest, what that is basically saying is don’t oversell.
Rahael’s initial comment appeared to be a very level headed comment and your rely to it.

I think you’re spot on, Amanda.

Honestly.

I love this blog, it’s a subject very close to my heart.

I think honesty isn’t prized highly enough. A person who means to live to their life ‘honestly’ must learn the vital skills of ‘tact’, ‘timing’ and more to ensure that their honesty is as painless as possible.

I feel that the world would be far better place with more honesty. To be honest … :)

Jennifer,

Stefan’s very good at giving presentations, I agree with you there.

Lee,

“Honest and tactful”. Definitely. I hope the new position’s working out brilliantly for you.

People should be honest and tactful.

Brands should also be honest. If brands were more transparent rather than hiding behind a veneer of marketing they would reap rewards long term. You can’t pretend to be something you are not, you will always get found out eventually.

I just put up a Stefan Sagmeister video from TED on my blog today. Honestly didn’t see this one on your blog before now. Great minds and all that!

I think the guy is a genius and is able to talk about design in such simple terms, I really admire him.

Great talk, Tjeerd. Some quite funny parts. And “The End of Print is now in its fifth printing.” Who’d have thought?

[quote]I’ve read as much as I could about Sagmeister, and I’ve never really been impressed by his work, as I’m more impressed at how out going he is with getting his name out there.[/quote]

Same here! I’m not fond of most of his work, but is known to quite some people.

Slightly offtopic: At the TED site is also a great talk by David Carson (someone who’s work I prefer over Sagmeister):
