It’s certainly a new weblogging world out there when I receive a press release announcing a new weblog. Vancouver’s Opus Hotel (of Oscar gift bag fame, which is why I’m on their PR list) has started up a blog written by their General Manager, Daniel Craig. When I first read the press release I shrugged it off and almost deleted it (regular readers know my style isn’t to post just any old news item and certainly not any old PR item — oh, and definitely not in hopes of a free hotel room). But the GM’s Blog is interesting reading and while of course he speaks highly of his employer, it’s not marketing speak, just good marketing. He admits that their PR firm has convinced him to sanitize a few postings, so he’s not uncensored, but hopefully they “get” what this is all about. HotelChatter is keeping an eye out for other hotel blogs.
