The arrival of The Blog Council…

posted in Blog Council, Blogging, Microsoft, Social Media, Voice of Customer, marketing, web 2.0 |

Well, I’ve been slow to blog this today as I was at the Web Community Forum a good chunk of the day, but I wanted to get something up on this before the moment passed.

The Blog Council has officially launched.

Lots of discussion today about it…I think Lionel over at Dell does a good job of capturing how I feel about this so please have a read. 

In the end, the core issue for me is simple.  I have learned more about social media and community from talking with fellow practitioners than any other single activity.  It’s kind of an oh, duh thing to say, but it amazes me how few people really do get out and invest the time to listen, read and learn. The opportunity to be a part of this and listen and learn from other real world corporate practitioners was way to good to pass up. 

A number of other posts as well you’re welcome to cruise:

Yup, some controversy too and some of it good feedback to think through as this develops.

    Sean -

    If anything, the collective quality of corporate blogs should go up. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

    That is a critical point Daniel. Even if I think my company does this well and with high integrity, anytime a foul is committed out there, it degrades the effort of all of us trying to be transparent.
