First CIO Weblog Q&A Session With CIO Blogger
Filed in archive CIO by steve on August 29, 2005
Steve: Why do you blog?
Will: On several occasions I have begun to write a book on management behavior and IT. However, I have never made the time to see that through and probably won't as long as I have a real job doing work I love. So, I blog instead.
Actually, blogging better suits my personality. I have been accused of
having ADD, so sitting down to write a quick entry suits me well. I find humor
and irony in a lot of things and blogging is great for that (like my entry on
the ThinkPad rollout held at Miller Brewing). (* - link added by Steve Shu)
When I
figure out something I like to post it on my blog. Especially if I made a lot
of mistakes along the way. Maybe I can spare someone some
frustration.
Lastly, I am a bit of an egomaniac and like to think people are
interested in what I have to say. The number of hits on my blog are low, but I
get a kick at viewing the stats and see that traffic is growing and new visitors
are coming from lots of interesting places. That encourages me to make more
entries.
Steve: Do you follow any blogs?
Will: I religiously read the HISTalk blog (http://histalk.blog-city.com/). It is filled with rumors about my industry and the people I know. I also follow several blogs that are more related to personal interests including Gizmodo, Engadget, and Inside The White Sox (http://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/inside_the_white_sox/). I also find drudge
to be a guilty pleasure.

I also
enjoy finding random blogs, but don't usually become a dedicated
reader.
Steve: Do you see any possibilities for other employees to blog in your organization? What customers or others in your community?
Will: Everyone has something to share. I do encourage employees to blog, but I tell them to keep it positive and to remember that they are protectors of our organization's good reputation.
