If you work for the world&#8217;s biggest companies, you can relax: Your CEO isn&#8217;t spending time on the social Web.</p>
<p>A survey of Fortune 100 CEOs finds that almost none of them are using Twitter, Facebook, or even LinkedIn. <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE55O0F920090625?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=topNews">Reuters</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="memo"><p>The study found only two CEOs had Twitter accounts and 81 percent of CEOs did not have a personal Facebook page.</p>
<p>Only 13 CEOs had profiles on the professional networking site LinkedIn. Three CEOs stood out with more than 80 connections but they were all from technology companies &#8212; Michael Dell from computer maker Dell, Gregory Spierkel from technology products distributor Ingram Micro Inc., and John Chambers from Cisco,</p>
<p>Three quarters of the CEOs did have some kind of Wikipedia entry, but nearly a third of those had limited or outdated information such as incorrect titles, or lacked sources.</p></blockquote>
<p>The survey is the work of something called Uberceo.com, which<a href="http://www.uberceo.com/about/"> describes itself</a> as a blog <em>about</em> CEOs, not <em>for</em> CEOs. Which is good, because according to Uberceo, most CEOs aren&#8217;t paying attention to blogs.</p>
<p>Uberceo says that it&#8217;s dismayed to learn that CEOs are too busy to install TweetDeck or play Mafia Wars, and insists they are missing <span>&#8220;a fabulous opportunity to connect with their target audience.&#8221; It suggests </span>&#8220;that every CEO examine their online image and reputation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The author of that survey, by the way? Sharon Barclay, whose <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&amp;key=14487175&amp;authToken=ZqtB&amp;authType=name&amp;trk=coprofile_new_hire">Linkedin profile</a> describes her as the sole employee of Blue Trumpet Group, a &#8220;corporate and executive visibility firm.&#8221; If only she knew of a way to advertise her services&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/files/2008/11/empty-chairs.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-923" title="empty-chairs" src="http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/files/2008/11/empty-chairs-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="187" /></a>Under normal circumstances, if the CEOs of big public companies&#8211;like, say, Cisco (CSCO), Microsoft (MSFT) and Comcast (CMCSA)&#8211;speak in front of an audience of bigwigs, it&#8217;s news.</p>
<p>And who knows? Maybe John Chambers, Steve Ballmer and Brian Roberts will indeed say something important today and tomorrow at Quadrangle&#8217;s Foursquare conference. Chrysler&#8217;s Robert Nardelli is speaking too. He might have something newsworthy to say.</p>
<p>But you are unlikely to read about it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because there&#8217;s no press allowed at the private equity shop&#8217;s annual conference, which starts this afternoon at New York&#8217;s Plaza Hotel.</p>
<p>Or rather, there&#8217;s <em>some</em> press at the event. But they&#8217;ll be on stage. And they won&#8217;t be telling their readers and listeners what they saw and heard.</p>
<p>CNBC&#8217;s David Faber, Becky Quick and Maria Bartiromo, for instance, will be moderating panels over the next few days. So will the New York Times&#8217; Andrew Ross Sorkin. And network TV news bigshots Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos and Brian Williams will answer questions themselves (Portfolio&#8217;s Matt Cooper will be moderating that one).</p>
<p>Am I crabby because I asked (nicely) and couldn&#8217;t get in myself? Nah. It&#8217;s Quadrangle&#8217;s event, and they can run it any way they want. But it does look like a pretty good gathering of worthies. Maybe I&#8217;ll park myself in the Plaza&#8217;s lobby and see if I can bump into some of them.</p>
