What use are eyeballs? I want to change minds!

I've probably gone off the deep end on this one. But the fact is, I've watched this blog take up space, and I haven't touched it in a while because I'm not personally engaged into making it better. Maybe I don't really believe what it stands for.

Certainly, plenty of people have made millions over the internet. I hope to count myself amongst them in the years to come. But in the meantime, the blog hasn't been growing, my readers haven't been growing, and neither have I.

So today, I'm changing the way this blog works. A business blog no longer, it shall be the blog of my mind. Lessons I've learned, and things that have touched my life. Hopefully, with the continued input into the blog, I'd be able to really grow and engage. After all, in a business blog, you would want eyeballs. Not me. No longer. Now, I want minds.

P.S. I think the reason I'm pushed to do this is because I keep getting emailed about people (or bots) have been signing up to join the blog. I'm pretty sure it's cause they want to post comments that link back to their site. Gosh. Can't people stop trying to push their own agendas everywhere?

How much is it worth to you?

A company approached my dad to let them setup a website for him. With the design and the integration of a shopping cart, they wanted to charge SG$2,000!

I sit here confused as to whether that's actually the market rate to setup a standard website with a shopping cart. Even Yahoo and other web-hosting companies have this integrated with their sales packages, which costs a LOT less.

Would you pay someone that much to setup a website for you? And if so, what would you expect from them?
