Heh – take some heart in the fact that the Blog Council is getting poleaxed all over the Web. Yeah, there are a lot of idiots in charge, but there are a lot of us out here who get it, too.

Now if I can just get some of those folks with budgets to hire me…

You don’t get to the top of the mountain by listening to the ankle-biters, boy.

Hey, I’m with you. If a large corporation were a human being (and the courts think they are), they would be actively finding ways to ensure that the brain gets no feedback from nerve endings. They’d be unable to grasp anything, would be unable to tell when they have their hands on a hot stove until they smell it, and would eventually lose motor function.

And, well, it’s the rare executive I’ve ever met who could tolerate even the gentlest criticism.

Thanks.

The certain way to ruin something is for corporations to get involved. And if I hear “best practices” (not to be confused with “breast practices” which I like/lick), it reminds me of the corporate-speak for wasting big money.

Btw, SAP was Germany’s revenge for its loss in WWII.

Ideally these things don’t live with the CEO. This is more of a Chief Marketing or Chief Communications Officer initiative. The problem is that in many companies the people who use and get social media are too far down the food chain to have any stroke, so it takes a few years for the meme to climb the ladder. Structurally, it’s as thought most big companies are designed to prevent this from happening.

Ha hah! I knew I made the right choice by passing this to you, Sam. Nicely done.

I can just picture one of the CEOs involved in this effort saying something like “Wow, this Internet thing is really taking off!”
