Infoservi - Blogs and business

Can a company be “social”? A roundtable about “Blogs and business” PiùLibri publishing fair, Rome, Dec 7th, 2007 Alberto D’Ottavi – http://Infoservi.it

“Markets are conversations” (David Weinberger et al.) • It’s an open, global market. And that conversations are already going on

Is it a language / content problem? • Probably you simply need to find the right “book”…

Is it a problem of attitude? • Probably you simply need to find the rigth style (and no, the CEO does not need to go mohican)

Somebody says it’s “corporate communication” • Do we really have scientific formulas?

“Pr people can be a source of information, but need some deprogramming” (Shel Israel)

“Partnership with Social Media has been great” (Richard Edelman, apr-07) • Yes, but please don’t forget Wal-Mart “flog” (fake blog)
