One thing I noticed from reading all the blogs out there is that sometimes there is duplication. Interesting posts and content are copied to another blog, which I suppose isn’t really in the good old nature of blogging! It’s fantastic to see so much enthusiasm out there for Siebel in the blogosphere, let’s keep the creativity going! J
