Another CEO has thrown his hat into the blogosphere, and decided that a blog is the best way to communicate with the customer. Bill Marriott, CEO and Chairman of Marriott International had his initial blog post on January 16, 2007. He realizes the importance of blogs by telling us up front:
I’ve checked out Jonathan Schwartz’s blog at Sun Microsystems and "Randy’s Journal" at Boeing. I’ve listened to Senator Barack Obama’s blog podcasts. I know blogs will be a hot communications tool in the 2008 Presidential campaign.
He finishes this thought after what I consider to be a rather long post, with:
Bottom line, I believe in communicating with the customer, and the Internet gives me a whole new way of doing that on a global scale. I’d rather engage directly in dialogue with you because that’s how we learn and grow as a company.
At the time of this publication, he had already received 49 comments. It seems that he has already made a big splash on his first day. This is a blog that should be added to your feed reader to see if he actually posts regularly and how he does with the communication tool. Welcome to the blogosphere Mr. Marriott. I wonder if all of the Marriott’s will provide free hi-speed wifi to every blogger now?
