I can contribute on a regular basis. The thing I can't do is to physically join the meetings... Unless I make enough money to overlook the cost of the trip, but this goal is very far from being reched yet. I'd have to sign much, much more contracts!

Co-founder and Managing Director of Creadrive webagency (Luxembourg & France mainly) : http://www.creadrive.com
We offer the usual webagency services: consulting, design, technology and marketing.
But one of our growing activity (and one I have a deep passion since 2001) is buzz marketing and guerilla marketing (street marketing, blog marketing, viral marketing....).
In December 2003, I decided it was time to have a blog that:
- Show our clients and potential clients the latest French and international buzz campaigns
- Give them some hints and advices to implement a viral marketing action
- Provides them with some tools and inspiration to launch their campaign
You can access my blog here http://www.culture-buzz.com
(Contrary to many bloggers, I am using until now a CMS (spip) instead of a traditional blog solution).
Regarding my blogging experience, I think it requires lots of time, passion and energy but that the reward definitely is there: my blog has already led many new customers to us....
Best Regards,
Emmanuel

You wouldn't be the first person (my wife was) to consider my blog to be the ravings of a madman. Personally, I call it an authoritative and objective commentary on the latest Internet marketing news. Maybe I'm the only one, you'll have to visit and see.
Anyway, as the CEO of Weboptimiser, which specialises in search engine optimisation and search engine marketing services, has several web properties of its own and some very interesting R&D projects, I 'm in the middle of a crazy, coalface technology business.
So if my blog, which you'll find at Coalface online marketing, ever reads like it was written by a man who lives in a large room with 19 other men, 2 orderlies and a strapping male nurse, well that's the world we live in. Come and say hello.

Looks like an interesting group. I am not sure you all will welcome me here. But I hope so. I am the owner and webmaster for www.ceoscope.com. It is an Irreverent look at CEO's. The good, the bad and the ugly.
I think many of you will enjoy the site as it matures over time. And I hope that I can get some good ideas from all of you over time.
Don't mind the section on rat out the CEO. That is all for fun. The site will have a serious tone as well. And should be a great resource for CEO information.
Thanks

Currently I am involved in title insurance, campgrounds, marinas, land development, ferry service, public/private partnerships and many others. Bringing together CEO's worldwide to share information on blogging and other business concepts fits well with my business philosophy. Thanks for providing the forum!

Greetings - I am CEO/Founder of Conversal - we are in the process of building a new company called Insytes - I post some of my own over at http://chrisheuer.blogspot.com/ and my lifeFeeds over at http://www.chrisheuer.com/ - I resisted sharing my professional Insytes for many years, trying to figure out how to apply them to new companies. But now I truly see that sharing such things with others, really truly is something that creates more value then it gives away. As Newton said, (paraphrasing) We stand where we are today on the shoulders of those who stood here before us - today more than ever, we also stand on the shoulders of our peers. That just makes sense to me on some guttural level and as such I am moved to do something about it. It still feels uneasy sharing important things that could make a competitive difference in my endeavours... but I also believe in the power of being a Lovecat, certain relevant aspects of living in a Transparent Society and the notion of a Fast Company in the Work 2.0 Economy. I have also seen how tithing in some form or another produces more wealth for the tither then the recipient. In the emerging world of the Wisdom economy, the broadest creators of value will be those who participate in sharing knowledge, developing Insytes, exchanging experiences and producing innovation. Those who collaborate well with others and have the best sources of wisdom are the leaders of tomorrow, forever expanding their own understanding of the world around them. I am pleased to be amongst such people here @ The CEO Bloggers Club - I look forward to watching our ranks go.
