BlogWrite For CEOs has more links than Strumpette, according to Technorati
This is absolutely a waste of time. But I just couldn’t resist. Technorati has rolled out a new “look” as of today (or at least as of this past weekend) so I was checking it out.
Why I don’t believe in anonymous (corporate) blogging… Strumpette, you can stuff it
Because it’s bogus.
What I mean is that, as amusing or clever as anonymous blogging can be (of course sometimes it’s nasty), it’s still slippery. Only half credible. And therefore ultimately an artifice. It’s not real. It’s not *authentic.* It doesn’t carry the weight of legitimate commentary.

The results of my 2005 1-Minute Blogging & RSS Survey emphasized that “Time” was the top fear factor holding folks back from creating and maintaining a corporate blog. [PDF summary of 2005 survey – 708 respondents] This year’s results are not dramatically different. “Time” is still a concern.…

I’m on the “Corporate Blogs” panel at the very cool mesh conference in Toronto. It’s moderated by Toronto-based entrepreneur and technology columnist Jen Evans. The other panelists are Tara Hunt of HorsePigCow (now with Riya.com) and Jeremy Wright, author of…
Hey, The Corporate Blogging Book is a *nicely-designed* book
Well that counts for something, doesn’t it? Maybe a lot. I’m one of those bookaholics who judges books by their covers and their heft and their layout and type. And TCBB, designed by the clever folks at Penguin Portfolio, has a nice look and…

Corporate blogging still occupies a tiny corner of the blogosphere
Reading between the lines of Pew’s latest report on blogging, it’s clear that corporate or business blogging is growing slowly and still occupies its own tiny – but evolving – niche in the blogosphere.
Don’t be fooled, however. Despite the findings below (bloggers are under 30 and…
read moreCool to meet a few members of Edelman’s crack me2revolution team
Thanks to Kami Huyse for organizing a really fun PR bloggers meet-up last night in downtown Washington D.C. It was worth the slog through the heat to get down to Spezie on L Street.
It seems like Edelman is snatching up bloggers left and right (OK, pun intended…
read moreSo all those Fortune 500s not yet blogging should read The Corporate Blogging Book, right?!
eMarketer’s new report on business blogging says big companies aren’t jumping into the blogosphere (at least with their own blogs) like lemmings. Er, given how risk averse corporations are, those numbers seem on target. And given the thrashing Dell has gotten this week over its new one2one…
read moreHow my book is different from the other business blogging books
I just updated the About the book page with a little Q & A that explains it. I’ve written a book for the non-cool, the non plugged-in, the possibly skeptical and perhaps even fearful executive. In addition, I’ve written it in a slightly bloggy style. I’m hoping it’s an…

Meryl K. Evans’ 5 Quick Tips to Building a Better Blog
Be sure to grab a copy of Meryl’s manifesto for ChangeThis.com: 5 Quick Tips to Building a Better Blog.
I really like Tip #3 on Readability. She recommends giving font size control to your readers (and advises on how to do that).
Full disclosure: Meryl was the researcher…
read moreStill don’t believe in the power of the blogosphere? Dell starts a blog, presumably in response to J
Dell just started blogging at one2one. And they’re responding positively, thus far, to a snarky blog post from big name blogger Jeff Jarvis and a critical, but thoughtful, post by Steve Rubel. (And a more measured riff from Robert Scoble.)
Jarvis, you may recall, is…

Enron’s Ken Lay dies of a heart attack – could he / should he have been a CEO blogger?
Was it a broken heart? No matter what part the Enron founder played in his company’s spectacular and painful collapse – I find this very sad. He was only 64. I’m sure there are some many who will say it’s his just reward. [Search “ken lay” on…

Even lemonade stands are blogging these days…
These days everybody’s doing it… or so it seems. Blogging for business. Meaning blogging to *get* business. Cute comic from yesterday’s Family Circus.
