How do you measure the ROI of a telephone? How do you measure the ROI of your email system? How do you measure the ROI of a corporate web site? Try and imagine a buisiness without one of these tools today and I would say it's much more about efficiencies and cost-savings than immediate and positive return.

There was nothing ROI about it. They put it up, listened, updated it, listening some more, updated it more, and so on. I hear what you're saying, but at the same time, the beauty of blogging is that you put it up there and try it out. It's not a regular site, a big corporate redesign or branding effort. It's just a blog. What's remarkable about Boeing is how fast they adapted to the blogosphere. Boeing rapidly corrected thier blogging and are it’s very successful for them.
