Some things live up to the hype.

I love dogs. The only downside to our three dogs is shedding. They each have different fur - long, short, fine, coarse, etc. We tried numerous products for grooming, but none of them really helped the shedding problem. Then our vet told us about a comb called the Furminator. It was pricey, but we bought one on our vet's recommendation. It is everything they claim. It works on long border collie fur as well as microfine greyhound fur. The packaging said we would be amazed, and we were.

I also love music. Put my iPhone on shuffle and you might hear Eva Cassidy, Kiss, The Verve, Guy Clark, or Sammy Davis Jr. A couple years ago, my wife and I attended a performance by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. They led off with a composition called Rainbow Body by Theofanidis. This was not the featured piece on the program that evening, but the DSO performance of Rainbow Body was one of the most moving performances (in any genre) I have ever been a part of. By the end of the piece, I couldn't: 1) raise my jaw, 2) sit, or 3) breathe. The DSO promotes every concert as something not to miss. With this particular concert, they were right.

At the start of 2008, I joined Kaleidoscope Information Services, Inc., developer of Dialogs. Prior to joining KISI, I produced numerous websites in Dialogs at several different agencies. I personally experienced much of what you have read in this site about Dialogs. I was never told, "Dialogs can't do that." I was told, "How can we help you succeed?" I was never disappointed. Now, my role as part of the Dialogs team is to generate the hype. Let me put it to you straight: Dialogs won't take your breath away, and it won't keep your sofa clean, but it will not let you down, and it will help you grow your business.
