It’s funny how 2 events unexpectedly connect…
I was updating my ‘web links’ page, putting in the home page links for blogs I’ve listed there, and was just thinking how most of them were TypePad accounts (I nearly started this blog on TypePad)…
…And then I flicked over to SharpReader, to have a quick last scan of blogs before shutting down for the night… and Loic LeMeur (Mr TypePad) has a blog entry about meeting Steve Ballmer during his Munich visit. It seems that Steve had never heard of him and didn’t realise how successful TypePad has become. Maybe he should have asked Robert Scoble about who’s who in the European blogosphere? 😉
CEOs may be wise not to blog themselves, but that doesn’t mean they can ignore them completely. Robert Scoble (who works for Microsoft) is up there on the blogging A-list. Seems common sense that Microsoft’s execs ought to check in with him from time to time, especially if they’re attending a meeting remotely related to social software and blogs – would save their researchers a lot of leg work. I think this will become increasingly applicable to CxOs, but especially those heading up the most visible organisations, globally and at local levels too…
