When I started blogging for the Hawthorne Hotel on March 22, 2005, I told my staff that I planned to do so every day, as a kind of daily diary on the life of the Hawthorne Hotel. So far, I have kept that pledge. (They all looked at me as though I had taken leave of my senses -- virtually none of them even knew what a blog was then.)
Looking back, I think it was a good idea, because it put us in the forefront of social media. Today, we link the blog posts to Twitter and Facebook, but do other things there as well.
In a day and age when few hotel managers stay in their position for even a couple of years, the fact that I have been blogging, as G.M. of the Hawthorne Hotel, for six years straight is something that even I marvel at , in looking at it from the outsiders' perspective. It is amazing how many times now we search our own blog for tidbits of information, using it, literally as a reference diary.
I hope you will subscribe to our blog, or "friend" us on FaceBook or follow us on Twitter, or all three!
Happy anniversary!
Juli (and all of the team of the Hawthorne Hotel)
