Mark Elbertse and Hans Mestrum In this latest in our series of For Immediate Release podcast interviews - complimentary to our regular “Hobson & Holtz Report” bi-weekly shows - Shel and Neville enjoyed a 24-minute conversation with Mark Elbertse, Chief Executive Officer, and Hans Mestrum, Trendwatcher, of Tulip Computers NV headquartered in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

Our conversation centered on Hans Mestrum and his blog, Hans on Experience - a personal business-focused blog (and one of the high-readership blogs in The Netherlands), but clearly and prominently described in and linked from the Tulip corporate website.

Following an introduction by Mark about Tulip and its business, we talked about how Mark and Hans see blogging as a tool for communication and building connections with customers, employees and others.
