David Meerman Scott and I enjoyed some Mexican food in Reston, VA tonight. David was in town to do one of his New Rules of Marketing seminars based on his eponymous best-selling book. I asked him if he thought CEOs might adopt Twitter over blogging, as it's short and sweet. It's not an either or choice between Twitter and blogging, he said. Click continue to see our video. We were having a little fun after dinner. (You can follow David or me

35-year-old Google co-founder Sergey Brin started a blog named Too yesterday. It's on Blogger, of course. MInimalist design of white type on a black background (which I find hard to read).

I missed this when it aired several weeks ago. Nothing new but fun to see it on network TV. Marriott tells the reporter that Bill Marriott's CEO blog is responsible for $4 million in bookings on the main site. That's not a huge amount given Marriott's sales, which are in the billions.

Got a heads-up from a reporter with the Austin American-Statesman who called to interview me. John Mackey, if you recall, is CEO of Whole Foods. His blog was shut down in July 2007 while his Board of Directors and the SEC investigated his pseudonymous postings to a Yahoo finance message board.
