Our good friend and VP of Corporate Communications Dave Migdal is now the lead player at the Sony Community Blog, which caters to mostly Sony Electronics news but does reach out in different areas. We were essentially discovered back when Sony Insider was still relatively new by Dave, and were also interviewed the blog’s founder, SVP Rick Clancy (whom retired recently) and Dave is now taking over for Rick. I’m pretty enthusiastic about this shift, but I will most certainly miss Rick. It will be interesting to see what elements of the blog change under this new direction. Dave promises that “you’ll be hearing from a wide swatch of people whose thoughts, opinions and viewpoints will be shared on a frequent basis. You may be in agreement with some of what is written; other posts may simply draw your ire.” Sounds spicy! It will be interesting to see what aspects of the company he brings to the table and what his unique vision will deliver.
Dave is also asking on the community to “turn up the dialogue now. I urge you to share even more thoughts and opinions. As Sony becomes more and more consumer-centric (from the way we design and manufacture products to our execution at retail), we want to hear what you have to say. I’ll also use this forum to share my observations and views on a broad spectrum of topics. One day, the blog could address a major event or issue. Another could bring commentary on new products or technologies and what some our colleagues at Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Music and Sony Computer Entertainment are thinking. There will also be guest bloggers occasionally.”
This translates into hopefully more activity with Sony and blogging. I think that Sony is doing a great job so far with their blogs and I look forward to perhaps an enhanced design or just a simple acquisition of Sony Insider. We all can dream, right?
