I am..a Corporate Blogger

  • Article

In his article “Professionals, Publishing for the Public”, David Weinberger says “I don't know that companies have figured out what the role of the outward-facing blogger is. It's too new.” Hmmm, David, we should talk. Not that we have it all figured out, but companies are doing it. Not a lot of them though.

He also talks about “an alternative method in which somebody -- an identifiable, real human being -- speaks in her own voice about what she cares about, and gathers a collection of people internally and externally who also care about it. That is great marketing.”

Well, David, I am that real human being. Yes, I am a Corporate Blogger (if you would have called me that a couple years ago, I might have been insulted but what the heck, today I am on the cutting edge of “great marketing”).

    Hi Heather,

    I've been thinking a lot about the value of corporate blogging, and I've made up a survey on the subject. Would you be kind enough to take my survey?

    Several people at Macromedia answered the survey, I'd be interested in getting some Microsoft bloggers opinions.

    Regards

    John
