It takes time, effort, commitment, regularity, monitoring, commenting, discussion - and a lot more. If you’re not going to run a blog 100% wholeheartedly, then I’d recommend to not have one.” Excellent point, Danny. The reason it works for Marriott is that Bill takes it very seriously. He posts multiple times weekly, and each post is well thought out, even when it doesn't relate to Marriott business. “A blog is not for every company, nor should every company have a blog.

This is especially true of the blogosphere which is still only accessed by a fraction of users relative to its potential. It may require a renaissance of new ideas before the community at large can grasp and utilize the concept.
