Agree in part to these but blogging and social media are overplayed. Building and integrating all these elements, and building a sufficient & quality following is tough work.

These tips certainly point novices in the right direction, but even doing these well doesn't mean you will succeed - at blogging or at your startup.

Amen to overblown. I've seen many high paid persons who have made careers of being C-Level bloggers... You'd better be tying some type of metrics to the value of your blog to justify spending that much effort on it.
