A recent study unsurprisingly found that only 1 percent of top executives over the age of 50 at U.S. companies provide daily contributions to a work-related blog, and only 4 percent say they blog a few times a week. In comparison, 35 percent of 40-something executives and 56 percent of those under the age of 40 post on a work-related blog daily.

In addition, only 3 percent of the 50+ execs are on Twitter, while 34 percent of 40-somethings and 56 percent of the under-40 crowd like to microblog. Come on, folks — if 77-year-old Bill Marriott can maintain a corporate blog, you can too!
