Marriott International Chairman and CEO Bill Marriott has an engaging and interesting blog. This is an example of how a CEO can use a public-facing blog to create better connections with staff, customers and prospective customers.

An interesting feature is that every post is available in text format or as a podcast.

Further reflections on Twitter and link to Jeremiah Owyang’s post, How to Get Started On Twitter: a Communication Tool. After reading what Jeremiah has to say, I am re-activating, in a limited way, my experiment with Twitter. If you are on Twitter and want to share the ~~trivia~~ news about what we are doing right now, my handle there is beachblogger.

Some bloggers indicate that TwitterÂ is the best thing since whatever, others can’t see the point. Some observations and links, including Dave’s sceptical view, Tris’s take that Twitter is the “new Flickr”, Robyn’s use of the Twitter widget and Bren with some guidelines. In the podcast linked below I refer to Bren’s “seven” habits etc, instead of the “several” actually in the title of his post - thanks to Tris’s post as linked above, for the link to Bren.
