There was a great post and links today in "The Times" (UK) online about corporate blogging. If you are from a business and thinking about blogging there were some good points in The Time's Online "10 step" program. Take a look and think about how you get over the fence.
On a related note, JohnPatDELL and I had a chance to chat with students in a public relations course at St Edwards College today. Boy, did they have some great questions and express some interesting perspectives. We thought we might be over our head when we checked out some of the student blogs at the link above. However, we managed to make it through the class :-)
In one case they told us about summer job experiences with companies where they had suggested starting blogs and were met with looks of questioning and doubt. My view...these kids know where it is at. Listen and learn. Even funnier, or cool....they thought it was pretty neat that two "old guys" had taught themselves social media and were into it up to their eyeballs.
Whats holding you back from listening learning and being in touch with customers and others who want to know your company better?

Time spent with students is always one of the best investments I can make. Thank you for pointing out their blog. I will add it to my reading list.
And I did add this blog to my blogroll, too : )
Thanks for sharing your social media experiences with us. We really enjoyed your talk! You brought a valuable real world perspective to our class.
