McDonalds and Blogging - BlogWrite for CEOs is Lovin' It!
McDonalds execs are blogging and it's not just the CxOs. And BlogWrite is Lovin' It (or at least Writin' It)! A recent discussion on the corporate blogging topic only made me more convinced that retaining the Personal, Unique voice of the individual is key and what sets apart blogging and it's related New syndication vehicles (RSS, podcast, etc.) tools for Knowledge Management / Collaboration / Communication from something that's just New.
Debbie Weil and BlogWrite for CEOs illustrates that individual voice well and is a great new find for me, getting into the in and outs of corporate blogging...and really getting Into It...dig the excitement of her first podcast (nothing mini about it Deb).
And in the practice of sharing that Debbie leads the way with, I use http://Audioblog.com for Live phone conversation / interview recording and auto-posting to various VO weblogs and http://Flickr.com/photos/vo for Live picture / image storage and auto-posting via cameraphone (and digi-cam)...fun tools. I also use http://Streamload.com/outlawv for hosting other audio / video files (made available via podcast RSS enclosures in some cases), mostly MP3s of TNJT interviews...like last night's killer chat with Reid Anderson of The Bad Plus (not quite up yet)...but Streamload download costs are getting expensive as the interviews get a bit popular...so I think I'll be looking distribution via BitTorrent soon (although I hate to think about having folks scale that tech wall just to get downloadable versions of the interviews...ugh). I'd like to get into the Skype and PC / Mac mobile recording set-up too, so it's good to hear Debbie's experience with it.
Keep Lovin' It Deb!! VO
