"It's always a bit amusing when people who don't understand the Internet act like they do.  There's a part of you that wants to say, \"Aww, nice try.  Here, have a gold star!\"\nMartha Stewart falls into that group.\nAs reported by BuzzMachine, while receiving the Aenne Burda award for creative leadership, Ms. Stewart talked about her blog, and how it factors into her business.  \u201CThe blog is a really, really important part of my business,\" she said. \"People think of me as their friend. And I am their friend\u2026. I will be blogging about this trip and I have a lot to tell my friends.\u201D\nIt's true folks, if you read Martha Stewart's blog, you are her friend.  And just think, as her \"friend\", I'm sure you can chat her up any time, day or night - maybe even invite her over to help decorate (or redecorate) your home!  Because, remember, she's your \"friend.\" That's what friends do.\nDon't befriend the woman on Facebook, though. She won't really respond to your poke.  She seems to think that she is plugged in more than enough already. What with the spiffy blog and all.\n[via BuzzMachine]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
