High-Ranking Executives: Cuban, Schwartz, Edelman, Lutz...Earnhardt
In today's Wall Street Journal, reporter William Bulkeley pens an interesting article on corporate America joining the blogosphere. I commend the read to all.
However, what is most interesting (to me, anyway) is the list of at the bottom of the article entitled "Blogs from the Top." The graphic reads: "Among the thousands of corporate blogs are some written by high-ranking executives. Here's a sampling." The list includes GM's Robert Lutz, Vice Chairman; Jonathan Schwartz, President, Sun Microsystems; Mark Cuban, Chief Executive, Dallas Mavericks; Richard Edelman, Chief Executive, Edelman & Co.; and, of course, John Earnhardt, Senior Manager, Cisco Systems. Um, that John Earnhardt and this John Earnhardt are one and the same. Yes, I am very powerful.
Okay, so maybe the WSJ researchers let this one slip by, but I commend them for their prescience. I commend them for recognizing raw talent. I commend them for listing our WWGA blog in the Wall Street Journal.
As stated when this blog started a little over a year ago, the purpose of the blog is to extend the expertise of our government affairs staff. We have a lot of experience and knowledge on this team and I thought that a blog would be a good way to share this. We are still walking with this, not quite running, but we will persevere. So, thank you Wall Street Journal for the recognition, and thank you, dear reader, for your continued attention.

Yes, John, I chuckled when I read that the other day. I thought, gee, John is moving up! This must mean Laura is now closing in on the COO position or something." ;-) Please say "hello" to her for me (she'll recall me from a couple of years ago, a good friend of Peter Harter and fellow Netscapee.)
Cheers GAM|out

The reference in the WSJ was great press! I had no idea that we even had a Cisco "High Tech Policy" blog until I read it in the paper. I'll monitor this more frequently!
