I would think this format would work:
-What things do people like to monitor/manage on their Postgres database?
-Quick intro to what the free tools can do [pgAdmin III, Munin, etc.]
-Discussion of the things that PEM provides
If people walk away having learned something about monitoring and tools
for PostgreSQL in general, I'd consider that a useful article meeting
the standard I suggested here--"information provided would be of some
use even to people who have no interest in the commercial product
mentioned"--even if it ended with a discussion of how PEM aims to solve
those problems.
