6 Business: Major Influencer You cannot afford to close your eyes to them, because they're simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself. And they're going to shake up just about every business - including yours. It doesn't matter whether you're shipping paper clips, pork bellies, or videos of Britney in a bikini, blogs are a phenomenon that you cannot ignore, postpone, or delegate. Given the changes barreling down upon us, blogs are not a business elective. They're a prerequisite. Business Week, 2 May 2005

12 If You Don’t Pay Attention… And if you do…

13 Don’t be Lame…

14 Get It Right Our only goal was to engage the public regarding our products and services. The blog has become an important unfiltered voice for the company, our customers and auto enthusiasts … We're learning on the run, but now we have an unfiltered voice, a direct line of communication. It has become indispensable. Bob Lutz Vice Chairman General Motors April 2005 “ ”

20 There Will Be Objections ■ “Another way for employees to waste time” ■ “We’ll have no control – think of the risks!” ■ “We don’t need this, we have the website, the newsletter, the press release …” >Worse: “Hey, we can stop doing press releases now that we have blogs!” ■ “We can’t allow employees to blog – we have official spokespeople” ■ “It will cost a lot in time and money to maintain”
