The eternal question: Should CEOs blog? I thought I’d already covered this in earlier posts of mine (see lists below) when I concluded that it may be a great way to humanize a company esp. in moments of crisis when communication ought to be timely but wondered if it was worth a CEOs time.

The fine folks over at GQ list their 66 rules, tips and secrets for living like a 21st century gentleman. Some of these gadget and social networking etiquette tips I follow, while others I’m working on. Definitely worth a read (after the jump). Plus, this cannot be found on their website as well. So, consider this an [...]

I happened to bump into Guy Kawasaki at Blog World Expo and decided to check out his mantra on how to be a good moderator before my corporate blogging panel on Sunday.

Just wrapped up my first panel discussion with Paula Berg, Southwest Airlines, moderated by Chris Baggot.

Some of the key topics we touched upon were related to the motivation behind corporate blogs - [...]

So, I’m prepping for my Blog World panel discussions (both on corporate blogging - no surprises there) and planning my trip: packing et al.
