I agree 100%
I just do not have the time to keep up full time with ONE blog, let alone a blog for every website. I am ashamed to say I have many blogs started with the best intentions sitting with just a post or two

Oh, I see what you did there…

I'd advise the same as I do with each client – are you ready to engage it properly? Do you have the resources to put into it to make it work? Is your audience the type that reads a blog?

Just getting the feel for how serious he'd be and if he is serious, making sure he's not wasting resources that could be better spent elsewhere.

My guess is yes, if the current tools had been around when Gates and Jobs were starting out, they would have taken full advantage of them, and probably done so in unique, transforming, and highly effective ways. I'm sure their methods would have differed – the Gates model would have been to buy up the best blogs and bloggers out there, slap the Microsoft logo on them, and co-opt them to serve his ends, while Jobs would have developed some completely new blogging paradigm that got everybody talking about how innovative he and his company were, while they rushed to copy him.

But let's re-frame the original question: Imagine the 1975 Bill Gates has hired you & asked whether or not he needed a blog (assuming today's blogging tools had been available then). What would you tell him?

It's a valid point, although I guess you could also ask if they had been around, would he have used them? Gates and Jobs both did a great job of using the tools of the time to get the word out. With his company offering even more tools to help bloggers in their approach today, perhaps he would have been one of the key leaders?
