DMM71206DL1.jpgHere is another Dell blogging faux-pas: lack of domain research.

Having read my fellow bloggers’ straight forward, objective analyses of the Dell entry into the blogosphere, I nevertheless wanted to judge the Dell blogging effort for myself. Rembering the blog name referred to in the numerous unimpassioned blog posts, I navigated to one2one.com.

I knew that Dell promised "real people," eager to listen.

Contrary to my expectation of arriving at a staid, boring corporate shell, however, aiming to put forth "corporate speak," I was greeted by a very "live action" experience featuring "online babes" eager to chat.

Below is a very, very censored sample of the very non-Dell experience awaiting at one2one.com, but not at one2one.dell.com.
