Large companies in particular can benefit from the added "voice". People now days expect a company to be more transparent and open to deeper communication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-64569350324189069642008-11-21T11:43:00.000-06:002008-11-21T11:43:00.000-06:00Devin check out their Twitter stream, there's a li...Devin check out their Twitter stream, there's a little more personality there. I think it's natural for a big corp that starts blogging to be a little more reserved in how they communicate. This might be a case where how they use Twitter influences how they communicate on their blog.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-51197810656901619042008-11-21T11:39:00.000-06:002008-11-21T11:39:00.000-06:00I was just commenting on the value of the physical...I was just commenting on the value of the physical human voice over at http://theengagingbrand.typepad.com/ - so obviously I definitely agree that GE ought to add a human face and name to their posts at the very least! Just makes for a more interesting read and, as you said, easier to trust. As for anything else to suggest.. just a little more personality in general maybe? I know that it's designed to be very informational - which is great! I would just be interested to hear more of that human tone of voice supporting the names/photos you suggested adding to back up the blog entries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-77054908994870789562008-11-20T16:12:00.000-06:002008-11-20T16:12:00.000-06:00I think the GE execution is very smart -- and they...I think the GE execution is very smart -- and they are posting tons of great content from across the company -- from strategic speeches by leadership to fun SNL video at NBC. I see your point about adding a human voice but don't know that its necessary since it's clearly the product of a many voices inside the company. Plus, GE has another blog, From Edison's Desk, at www.grcblog.com with many human voices. This is clearly taking a different approach -- which is taking on inaccuracies in the media and correcting them via blog. Plus, the leadership of the company is buying into it. Yesterday, they essentially broke news out of GE Capital on the site with a video from one of their leaders. Big stuff.joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587967616452280623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-73535797228506720352008-11-20T15:10:00.000-06:002008-11-20T15:10:00.000-06:00Mack: not only are all your points very smart, but...Mack: not only are all your points very smart, but they are very welcoming to GE. I really appreciate your taking your time (I know you have much going on w/work) to publish these recommendations. <BR/><BR/>**And I hope other co's will be able to benefit from them as well. <BR/><BR/>I can't agree more that they need a human face/voice on that blog. I know, it's obvious to us...but they'll find it will really help. Again, very cool of you to turn this around so fast. They should send you chocolate. Or energy-efficient lightbulbs and a handwritten thank you note for your kindness (hey, I had to give GE another action point or then it wouldn't be me :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-13014733542875857442008-11-20T14:52:00.000-06:002008-11-20T14:52:00.000-06:00Mack,Thank you for the post and advice!
