CEO blogs

I was trapped to spent some time in a room with some geeks and the most interesting thing I found was a magazine (off course on IT). Was reading through and found a piece that was talking about these COE-s in some big companies, that were having their personal blogs open for anyone on internet. So I came back to my computer and I thought I will check out their blog sites. It is interesting to see how these successful guys think and it is a privilege to be able to read and learn from them.

Quite interesting. I like the fact that you can see he is a smart chap and takes only what he needs out of a situation, book, email or meeting. He is also funny in some of them, nice sense of humor that doesn't hurt. I especially enjoyed "World as 100 people".

More related to work, not very personal and I like that he is visual too, tries to put pictures and faces on the things he talks about. He seems sort of laid back guy.

Apparently she is considered the Queen of blogs because she knows allt he trick someone needs to know when writing a blog. From that IT magazine I was reading, she said that the blog has to be no more than 500 letters, has to be updated often, no need to put company confidential information (Figure!), need to be attractive enough so it doesn't get dull. In short, she was saying that when a CEO writes a blog, is almost as preparing a speech or writing an email that will be received by public.

More theoretical and old school. I do not get the vibe of humor or being up with the "day-to-day what the teenagers are doing" kind of guy, very business oriented but definitely smart and intelligent. His blogs are long and I can loose attention before the end. But that's just me!

He is a very successful entrepreneur and there is a lot about him if you just Google his name. His blogs are long and you can see that all he cares is "money making ideas". You have to speak a certain language to understand and enjoy him.

Is more of "How I think we should advertise Adobe" kind of site, very much oriented to his personal business.

Sleek looking blog. He is actually Chief Marketing so his blog is more into marketing. He is also work oriented but has some good thoughts on how marketing should be the key to promote something that is not doing very well. I enjoyed "Fat free French fries"




Well, there are tons like these out there but I will stop here and let you check the rest and decide what you like. This was just some food for your thoughts and now that you are hungry, let's get the menu :)
