Iñigo Arbildi

Founder of IBAI Intranets, a company devoted to Document Management Intranets creation.

 

Additionally we are working hard in Search Engine Marketing, as a consequence of my experience blogging in "Trucos de Google" (http://trucosdegoogle.blogspot.com) a blog specialized in Google issues.

Now, my blogging experience has extended to Artículos sobre Gestión Documental (www.ibai-intranets.com/articulos). Actually, the whole IBAI Intranets is empowered by Movable Type, although the "pure" blog is Artículos sobre Gestión Documental.

 

 

Marty Morrow

CEO and founder of Quovix.com.

 

You can read something about what we're up to on my blog so I won't spend time discussing it here. I've been experimenting with blogging for a few years now and have found it particularly useful as a communication tool for my own employees and customers. We tend to sell to high tech clients so having a blog is most often considered a positive. I'm anxious to discuss/debate issues and topics with other CEO bloggers and I was very happy to find this blog site.

 

Thanks to everyone involved to make this happen
