		<description>Those companies that don’t have a direct contact channel are certainly delinquent in their responsibilities to their customers. I’d venture to guess that those firms have other problems that need addressing prior to dealing with social media issues.</description>

		<description>Mike: Thanks for your comments.

Josh: Thanks for your comments as well. I just don't see where anyone has an obligation to comment on any blog post. It's possible that someone passed along the link and the individuals that read the post either didn't have a response or didn't feel qualified to give a response. Or maybe they're told not to respond to blog posts. Who knows. Not responding may be a good choice and it may not be. I guess it depends on the situation.

I don't have any problem with people broadcasting these types of issues on their blogs. I do it all the time. I just don't have any expectation about receiving comments here. I'm very glad to get them but don't mind if members of an organization I've mentioned  just stop by to window shop.</description>

		<description>I don't see it as a nuisance, when it does cross the line though is when you look at your stats and see 40-50 visits from company in one day and no other form of contact.

As for contacting directly, it can't always happen.  Many times bloggers write about a situation on their blogs because you can't find a point of contact with an organization.</description>
