Southwest’s Nuts About Southwest blog launched April 21, 2006.
Nuts about Southwest is our new blog all about our Employees, Customers, airplanes, and airports. We really are Nuts about Southwest, and we hope that you, our Customers, will share that passion by posting your own comments at http://www.blogsouthwest.com ...Our goal is for this blog to go beyond the facts and numbers to give you insight into our fantastic Employees—what motivates them, how they do their jobs, and a look into the way they serve you, our Customers.
Brian Lusk, Manager of Customer Communication and Corporate Editor, wrote the first post, and promises more in the future from “Pilots; Flight Attendants; Airport Employees; Mechanics; folks from our Marketing, Schedule Planning, Properties, People and Leadership, and Executive Office Departments.”
The first few posts area mix of casually written Southwest kudos and recognition, and personal anecdotes—seems like a good recipe for holding the reader’s interest. Future promised features are Flickr feeds, customer letters, and insider tips from Robert Scoble.
Congratulations to Peter Flaschner, Joelle Reeder, Lisa Sabin and Paul Chaney: our SXSW panel “How to Make $$ with Your Blog Design Skills” made the SXSW Honor Roll!
We had a lot of fun doing the panel, and it’s great to know that others enjoyed it to.
Incidentally, the panel was recorded, so if you’re interested in listening to us all pontificate, you can download the MP3 (26 MB) and go to town.
