Can It Be True? Lehman Bros. and Employees Apparently Not Using Social Networks

Posted in the Category of CEO Bloggers and Global and Social Media

I’m staggered after reading the following in today’s NYTimes Business section: "About 12:30 Monday morning, Lehman sent out a press release announcing its intention to seek bankruptcy protection. Lehman’s 25,000 employees learned of the filing through the media, with no direct communication coming from (CEO Dick) Fuld or other Lehman executives."

Posted in the Category of Global

Simon Chen interviews me about corporate blogging at BlogWorld Expo

Posted in the Category of Events and Global and Stuff

Thanks to Simon Chen of Melbourne-based Eight Black for this really nice video interview about corporate blogging and my book. Simon obviously uses much classier equipment than my idiot-proof Flip video recorder - which I love except for how long it takes to upload the videos to YouTube. If you're thinking of buying one, BTW, be sure to get the new ultra Flip which is flatter and plugs into your laptop less awkwardly.

Simon also kindly
