Constantin Basturea (Hat tip: @rgumente) discovered that there are many CEOs also doing their share of blogging and has complied a list at the New PR Wiki.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading the information in that Wiki, as it gave me plenty of interesting insights about the world of PR. 

As an telecom analyst, one often interfaces with various people in AR (Analyst Relations) departments of various vendors, service providers, systems integrators and large distribution channels, but that is a little bit different than PR on its own (actually, many AR people I know are well versed in PR as well, but there are a few exceptions, and those folks would immensely benefit at least getting some know-how from information sources such as the ones I mentioned above.  What's nice about Constantin's Wiki is that it is open to anyone (you don't have to be a PR pro to make a contribution), and it contains interesting factoids such as the CEO bloggers list mentioned above.  More importantly, it also offers insights on topics such as business blogging, corporate blogging, headlines aggregators, and many others.

So, now that I've given Constantin's efforts a much deserved accolade, let's go back to the title topic.  Which famous CEOs are blogging?  Well, after Bill Gates' very positive comments about blogging at this year's Microsoft CEO Summit (which were commented here in a previous entry), I expected to find him on the list... Well, not really.  So it came as no surprise not to see his name mentioned.  But surely, there were a few famous people that made it: Ray Ozzie (Founder, Chairman and CEO of Groove Networks), Kevin Lynch (Chief Software Architect for Macromedia), Jonathan Schwartz (COO for Sun Microsystems), and even Mark Cuban (the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and fittingly, the author of "Blog Maverick" blog).


Update (25/8): I've added two entries on the Wiki (one for Jeff Pulver and the other one for FCC Chairman Michael Powell.  I added Mr. Powell because the list not only includes CEOs, but also "people who are in a leadership position".   more »
