Mr. Marriott blogs and tweets!

Posted by Leslie on September 3rd, 2008 | No Comments

In my so-called real life, I work for Marriott International at their headquarters. The company is still run by the Marriott family. Mr. Marriott has an office right upstairs and is often seen eating in our cafeteria.

I knew he’d been blogging for a while now, although I hadn’t followed it much. But he’s now urging the presidential candidates to do it as a way to connect and communicate.

Apparently, he’s also knowledgable on Tweeting, as seen here:

If blogging takes too much time, my friend Blake Little, who helps me with my blog, suggested that McCain try micro blogging – something called Twitter where people write quick “Tweets” about what they’re doing or thinking. Blake told me more than 70,000 people follow Barack Obama and his campaign on Twitter. We’re even testing Twitter with our own Marriott site.

Just can’t get away from that new-fangled technology, can we?
