From the intro to his new e-book: "This is not a faq and it's not the blogging bible and it's incomplete... " Of course he packs plenty into 45 pages.

Interestingly, (for those of you out there wondering what to do with all that stuff you write in your blog)

Interestingly, (for those of you out there wondering what to do with all that stuff you write in your blog) he pulls a fair amount of this e-book straight out of his blog. As well he should. A blog is the perfect place to test out your ideas and just "get it down."

Included are his riff on CEO blogs and his riff on why "small is…

Posted in the Category of CEO Bloggers and In the News and Writing Tips

Podcastlogo1_2"Once you start blogging, can you ever stop?" asks prolific blogger Zane Safrit, CEO of Conference Calls Unlimited. To be precise, he didn't say those exact words during our podcast [click to download the MP3 or listen]. But it's a great question. Zane, my advice to you is: "Don't stop."  You're good and getting better all the time.

Zane, my advice to you is: "Don't stop."  You're good and getting better all the time.

He blogs about current events, the economy, outsourcing, health insurance and other stuff. Oh, and he just blogged about our podcast here.

Zane is in fact kind of zany, defined as "amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic." (Surely I'm not the first to point that out grin He's been blogging regularly since December 2004 as a way to create a "voice"…

I've been too tied up writing The Corporate Blogging Book to have contributed an article. Lazy me... but I was honored to be a "reviewer" for several of the articles submitted. This event / blog / knowledge site is the brainchild of the prodigiously productive Constantin Basturea. Romania-based Constantin is the guy behind The NewPR Wiki, which has a ton of resources related to business blogging.

Need a researcher for your book? Try Google Answers

Posted in the Category of The Corporate Blogging Book

Just stumbled across Google Answers. It looks cool. You type in your question, post a "bid" (i.e. pay a small fee), and then sit back and wait for one of Google's independent researchers to give you an answer. Obviously, the more you pay the quicker you get an answer. I just posted a question: What are the specific lawsuits filed thus far against bloggers? I know about two cases but don't want

Just stumbled across Google Answers. It looks cool. You type in your question, post a "bid" (i.e. pay a small fee), and then sit back and wait for one of Google's independent researchers to give you an answer. Obviously, the more you pay the quicker you get an answer. I just posted a question: What are the specific lawsuits filed thus far against bloggers? I know about two cases but don't want to miss any others.

Oh, and if you're reading this and have information about lawsuits and blogging, please leave it in the Comments below!

Posted earlier to my BlogWrite for CEOs blog: Lawsuits against bloggers are starting to pop up.

It's our first peek at the ugly underbelly...  Turns out our window into the new transparent Microsoft via 2,000 employee blogs gives us a view that isn't all, shall we say, a bed of roses.

Read about Microsoft at middle age here in BusinessWeek's Sept. 26, 2005 cover story.

Read about Microsoft at middle age here in BusinessWeek's Sept. 26, 2005 cover story. Read BW's sidebar: A Rendezvous With Microsoft's Deep Throat. Then dive straight into the source of the story: Mini-Microsoft, the blog by an anonymous Microsoft employee, aka Deep Throat. The blog is a great read and pretty much "tells all" about too many meetings, sagging morale, the slow schedule of new releases, etc. It also…
