GM Blog Redesigns, And GM Reorganizes
August 05, 2008
The GM Fastlane Blog recently went through a redesign after two years of the same design. Highlights include:
- Incorporating Twitter
- Incorporating Video
- More space for bigger picture
- Pull down archives show the number of posts per month
- A photo gallery
- Recent posts split by six different categories
This from Christopher Barger, GM's Director of Global Communications Technology
Bob Lutz, GM's Vice Chairman, also wrote an important post, "Working Hard on Tomorrow, Today," about the recent changes at General Motors. The post received over 230 comments. I was thinking it must be difficult to manage that volume of comments, and that it actually would be easier if some sort of threaded discussion was incorporated into the design of the comment section.
What was also interesting that the post was about some of the downsizing at GM, and that a number of GM employees commented on the post. Some of the employees identified themselves, and some did not.
