Scobleizer: Why can’t CEO’s use Web sites/blogs to disclose things?

Oct 2, 2006 | blog

Robert Scoble makes a great point, blogs make for a great PR tool for CEO’s and corporations.  Why can’t more CEO’s make public statements using a blog?

In my own employer’s industry, we could make use of a corporate or CEO blog on many levels.  We could speak to product questions, to company initiatives in the community, and so on.

The instantaneous and free-form nature of a blog is such a great tool to communicate with customers, partners and clients – wish we could make use of them where I work.

Quick Post

Sep 14, 2006 | blog

I thought that I would drop a quick post over lunch. I’m down in the lobby of the office, kicking back with some Damn Yankees.

Had to get away from the desk for a little bit if you know what I mean. 😉 Putting my phone through it’s paces reading news, posting, and listening to tunes. Kind of fun when it all works.

Comment Spam

Aug 28, 2006 | blog

Well, I’ve updated my comment spam monitor to filter a few more spammers that seem to have slipped through.

Its though enough as it is without idiots like these spammers hitting a personal blog.  What is there to gain from targeting personal blogs?

Ugh, I guess I should really focus my disappointment towards the real idiots that actually are stupid enough to click on this type of advertising, emails, and blog posts.  These people are the real problem because they create an environment where the spammers can make money.

F***ers!
