I didn't watch. I don't consider these boards to be "blogs" and doubt he meant these boards. There are a lot of beauty and hair care bloggers out there and I suspect he's talking about them. If he meant these boards then complaining about them accomplishes nothing, showing products and specifically addressing the benefits of them or explaining how to use them properly to get good results and possible explanations for poor results would be the best way to go IMHO.

I'm agreeing that he was probably referring to a beauty blogger or two, or ... There are only a zillion of them out there. :-)

But is he seriously just sitting around reading all the blogs about himself? Why? I can't imagine being a celebrity or vendor and sitting around reading about myself. The world is a brutal place. Hard to stay positive and upbeat when you read all the negative kwap people write, regardless of who you are.

I was thinking about that as I was typing. Like when we Google his name, blogs will come up, reviews, etc., Maybe he Googles himself?

ETA: I doubt he sits around reading about himself -- he's got other things to do. :-) But maybe it's irresistible to see what people are saying about your products -- and about you. :=)

If you own a business of any kind, you NEED to be aware of "reviews"...........

Leslie Blodgett reads everything, I think she posted on Twitter once that she has a google alert or something similar.

If you are selling to the public, you need to know what the public is saying, even if it hurts.

Hmmm...before the thread gets too heated, perhaps it might best if we all just agree to disagree. Chaz Dean seems like a nice guy, he has cute dogs and his product is well liked....but I don't think that Nick was being mean to Chaz or taking any digs at him, and I like Nick's products the best because they work well for my hair.

@september, quite a few people think that Nick Chavez takes digs at WEN whenever Nick says with his shampoo, you don't need 10 or 15 pumps to get a good lather. I think that's when people start thinking that Nick is taking digs at Chaz.

In any case, it's best not to turn this into a Chaz vs. Nick thing. People who like Nick really didn't see anything wrong with what Nick said (me included) and people who like Chaz are probably going to take offense at anything Nick says from this point on out, so it's probably best if we all just agree to disagree.

Many people here thought I was taking digs at WEN when I wasn't, so.....as bad as it sounds, it basically best to just walk on eggshells when talking about WEN. If it's not a compliment, it'll be taken as a dig. The same thing happens when a discussion about Lisa Robertson, Linea, Temp-Tations, Susan Graver, Judith Ripka, etc. comes up. If it's a very popular product/vendor/host, anything but a compliment will most likely be taken the wrong way no matter how nicely it's worded. Same thing happens in the Viewpoints sub-forum on this board. It really is just a mess, to be honest.

In a small sort of way, I do feel a bit better. For a little while, I thought maybe I had posted something wrong. But I quickly learned that on this board, the people who post here tend to get a bit prickly over certain subjects anyway. I mean hey, sometimes a compliment will be taken as a veiled insult, depending on the person's mood. It's best not to take things too seriously on this board. Otherwise, the people and topics will run you ragged.

And truth be told, for all we know, Chaz and Nick are best buds backstage. They may even read these boards and laugh it up with each other over a beer and some pretzels.

Chaz: Hey, look at this Nick. They think you're taking digs at me again.

Nick: Yeah? Look at that one. She/He thinks you have greasy hair.

Chaz and Nick: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (eats pretzels, takes a sip of beer)

just an FYI --- Chaz doesn't read the boards

It's ok, it's a discussion. Most people can handle differing opinions, but thank you.
