Value? Absolutely! Every critique you do for another blog is a truckload of insight for the rest of us, Chris. It’s great that you take the time to do this, and to do it so thoroughly and succinctly.

Thanks, when I started I wasn’t sure how much value people other than the reviewed blogger would find

Fabulous insight. It’s soo hard to see the trees when you’re in the middle of the forest!

An outside objective eye is truly priceless. Can’t wait to see the 30 or so you still have to get around to reviewing!

I am loving what you are doing with freelanceswitch, particularly the design, but before I do any more free critiques I am going to have to get through the 30 or so already on my list :S Look out for the next round!

Wow, interesting and thorough critique, where do I sign up to have a blog critiqued? I’d love to see FreelanceSwitch.com get the going over!

On the subject of the critique itself I agree particularly with humanize. A lot of blogs out there don’t immediately tell me who the person IS and I find I am much more likely to forget those than ones like chrisg.com for example which is really memorable. Of course the content may still win me over but it just makes it that much harder for that to happen…

Thanks Chris for taking the time to review our blog. You are certainly right about corporate blogs they are way harder than personal blogs.

But, I think a “working” company blog really sings. So we will persevere, refine and hopefully eventually a “voice” will emerge. It is a lot more difficult than having a “voice” on a personal blog.

The opportunity is there though…and that’s what will keep us going. It is a lot harder to think of what you wish to achieve than actually deliver it in HTML.

Thanks again Chris, much appreciated!
