Mark Logic CEO Blog Wins SIIA "Best Corporate Blog" Award

I'm thrilled to report that the Mark Logic CEO Blog, authored by our PR guy Jason Tidwell -- just kidding, authored by me -- won an SIIA CODiE award last night at the CODiE awards gala dinner at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

It's great to see the blog continue to get recognition from ReadWriteWeb, from corporate blogging expert Debbie Weil, from CNBC, from "WebMama" and now from the SIIA, because I work hard to follow a sensible, reader-centric, and sadly rather rare approach:
  • I write the blog myself. Nothing is ever ghost-written.
  • I write about topics that interest me, regardless of how or whether they relate to selling our software.
  • While I do certainly highlight Mark Logic items (e.g., events), I am vigilant in ensuring that the blog does not turn into an advertisement.
Thanks again for your support. Lest I forget, we also won best database management system in the software division awards.
