		<description>hey, Dean, how are you?

I like the honesty of this &amp; I look forward to your post on the cross-over between branding &amp; direct sales.

Branding really is interesting - especially so now because of the web: Traditionally &#039;tight control&#039; was a big part of branding, which just isn&#039;t possible any more. Just a quick example - How do you control someone&#039;s perception of your laptop range when anyone can read thousands of honest, first-person reviews, with unlit photos, &amp;c? An exciting question &amp; it&#039;s great to see the way big &#039;brands&#039; are tackling it - especially the ones that are moving away from &#039;ultra-tight control&#039;.

Thanks again for the nice piece - look forward to reading more.
