NKOTB: Ted’s Take

A big Blogebrity welcome to Ted Leonsis of AOL, the latest executive to take the blogging plunge.

Today Mr. Leonsis has opened up his Ted’s Take blog, which had previously been available only to AOL employees, to the world. If you don’t know who Ted is, his About page does a pretty good job of bringing you up to speed:

Ted Leonsis is a pioneer of the new media industry; a professional sports team owner and a philanthropist. He is currently Vice Chairman of America Online, Inc. and President of AOL’s audience-based businesses. He is the longest tenured senior-level AOL executive and has served in multiple leadership capacities during his dozen years with the company.

Sports fans may recognize Leonsis as the part owner of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, which means that we now have two NBA owners actively blogging (in case you didn’t know, or he hadn’t mentioned them in the last 10 minutes, Mark Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks). Let’s all make sure we do everything in our power to actively encourage blog rivalry between the two.

Ted adds his name to a list of C-level bloggers that includes Bob Lutz (GM), Jonathan Schwartz (Sun), Randy Baseler (Boeing), Richard Edelman (Edelman), and last but certainly not least, Bob Parsons (GoDaddy)–who certainly holds some sort of execublogging award for candor. This week’s highlights include point-by-point arguments supporting the GoDaddy girl’s various states of undress for Super Bowl XL. Mmmm…that’s good corporate-speak!
