Shel Israel Interviewed Michael Dell On Social Media At Dell
Shel posted an excellent interview with Michael Dell this morning. He believes it is it is the “longest and deepest interview on social media ever conducted with a CEO of a Fortune 100 company.” I wonder if it might be the most extensive interview with a Fortune 1000 CEO ever.
If you read this [...]

The Blog Council: A Good Source Of Perspectives, But It’s Not “Vendor Free”
Dell’s Lionel Menchaca was telling me about The Blog council last night. He’s enthused about the opportunity, and I can understand why — it’s a great way for him to network with his peers who are blogging at other major brands in a “vendor-free environment.” Another one of our clients called today to [...]
Ghost Writing & Blogging
This Scott Adams comic is making the rounds today. Though not optimal, Ghost writing happens in enterprise blogging. I’m sure blogging purists will shudder at the thought…
But I’ve found ghost writing can really help in three situations: 1) to leverage the time of senior executives; 2) to help a new blogger in [...]

Fortune 500 Slow To Blog, Faster To Embrace Other Social Media
About a year ago today, Chris Anderson and Steve Rubel posted on the four percent (20) of Fortune 500 companies that were blogging.
Steve predicted “the Empire - e.g. large corporations - will strike back in a big way in an effort to make sure they don’t lose the online word of mouth game to the [...]
Healthcare Blogging Summit 2006
This afternoon I spent some time at the Healthcare Blogging Summit in Washington, D.C., and I thought I’d blog about it from my Amtrak ride back to New York (using my Blackberry for broadband access which is handy).
I attended the conference because we work for a lot of pharmaceutical companies, and I wanted to see [...]
Yahoo Employees Back Their CEO
Yahoo had an all-hands (e.g., internal) meeting and some of the employees – like J-Strizzle — are blogging about it.
Very cool.
Sharing the CEO’s remarks at an internal meeting with the external world via your blog is probably well covered by the confidentiality clause in Yahoo’s code of ethics. My guess is this is a no [...]
Bloggers Let Texas State Rep Have It…
A couple weeks ago I mentioned a prefiled bill in the Texas Senate that would extend Texas libel laws to blogs. Bloggers have been attacking State Representative Vicki Truitt (R-Keller) ever since. They feel the bill is too broad and they let Truitt know that in no uncertain terms. This article appeared [...]
