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. But not bad for a little spare change from blogging.

Debbie: I watched the clip—good stuff. Bill Marriott is a smart man.

He writes it longhand because he can’t type! But he obviously understands the importance of the customer interaction.

How do you suppose they came up with the $4 million?

Wow! $4 million from blogging? That has got to be a success!
