Corporate Blogging

Thursday, July 12th, 2007 My friend and bloggy-buddy Debbie Weil has started a blogosphere kerfuffle over her request via e-mail and blog post to leave a comment on GSK’s alliblog. Folks like David Murray and Allan Jenkins have been roasting Debbie over the coals and Lee Hopkins had this to say:
As for me, I am stunned that a leading proponent of [...]
Social Media, the Fortune 500, and the future
Saturday, January 13th, 2007As the new year begins, social media is beginning to really get hot. Jeremiah talks about the Fortune 500 and their adoption rate. Michael Gartenberg gives some excellent advice on corporate blogging (it all sounds familiar, but hey it's all good stuff)
Josh with usual wisdom, though he seems to be off Skype today, points [...]
Learning some tricks of the trade, great blogging tips (and mistakes to avoid)
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006There are so many posts on how to blog better and what mistakes to avoid. Yes, most of them say the same things over and over again (which is good, actually—it means I think we've got the basics down pretty well). Anyway, WebProNews has a nice list of what I consider to be important tips, [...]
Debbie's book hits the shelves! The Corporate Blogging Book
Friday, August 4th, 2006I'm a little late to the party on this one. Yesterday was the official publication date for Debbie's book, but as I was still dealing with getting my machine back up to snuff, I didn't get many posts done yesterday. Luckily Lee, Stephan, and Des got some posts out so I didn't feel too bad [...]
Is Scoble leaving Microsoft? — Pretty much confirmed, yes.
Sunday, June 11th, 2006Nice bit of hot news for today. No, not that Edmonton beat the Canes 2-1 (though that is great), but Scoble is reportedly leaving Microsoft for startup Podtech. I first caught this on Om's blog who linked to the originating source on SiliconValleyWatcher. Chris Pirillo left a comment on Om's post that it was true. [...]
Don't be hard on Debbie, she didn't mean it like that.
Friday, May 19th, 2006Somehow I don't think Debbie intended to start an international firestorm when she came to support me at my Mesh Blogging 101 workshop. She posted right away and mentioned that she was surprised some of the questions, that they were similar to the questions we fielded a couple years ago.
I saw that she posted and [...]
Corporate Blogging Smackdown!
Tuesday, May 16th, 2006Debbie, Jeremy, and Tara Hunt … I've heard through the grapevine that these three don't agree on a lot of the parts of corporate blogging. Now, Debbie said last night that she and Tara might be closer together. Jeremy … well I know where he stands. And I know where I stand … and I'm [...]
Information Integrator - Abstractor = Professional Blogger
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006Yesterday Stephan wrote a good piece about jobs of the future well the original source was looking at 2020 … Stephan read the key job traits:
identify a wide variety of trusted sources of novel and important news and commentary
take in an overwhelming amount of information from these sources
ruminate on this information, analyzing and making a [...]
The blog is dead, long live the blog! Anti-blog hype is overblown
Friday, February 17th, 2006Oh boy this is going to stir things up. Daniel Gross of Slate writes in Twilight of the Blogs that business blogs are on the downslide. I can't agree less with him. Sure, I'm biased, I just wrote about my new career via blogging, but just because blogs have made the cover of magazines doesn't [...]
When being just Creative isn't enough … Oliver Starr breaks off on his own.
Tuesday, January 10th, 2006Again, one of the best thing about the blogosphere are the connections you make with people. I connected with Oliver through Jim Turner of One By One Media (where I am a partner now as well). Well Oliver is one of those cool, nice guys who not only has great stories to tell (ask him [...]
What's your best blogger part?
Thursday, January 5th, 2006Steve Rubel blogged about this earlier this week via a destinationCRM.com article. Steve says of all the parts his best part are the lips. Me? I'm more in the brain (filtering info) and heart (passion). Of course good bloggers need all these parts, not just corporate ones. Professional bloggers need to hone these traits plus [...]
Dave Taylor … Blogosphere Mythbuster.
Thursday, December 15th, 2005Dave, your a good guy. I really likereading your stuff. Really. Okay and this piece on Kryptonite made methink and did clarify some [...]
Fear not the Dark Blog …
Tuesday, October 18th, 2005No, Dark Blogs aren't evil, Dark Blogs are blogs within a companies firewall. They aren't for public consumption, they are for internal KM, internal news, maybe even internal fun (gawd, not that! not at work!) Debbie has a great post about McDonald's embracing blogs internally in a big way (yes, that is Debbie and Scoble on [...]
I'm batting 1000 … how about you?
Tuesday, September 20th, 2005Belated
thanks to Shai (sorry again about that mis-directed e-mail … doh!)
for not only challenging the Blogosphere to reach for the 1000 post
goal—Blog 1000 - ShaiCoggins.com—(I hit it over the summer on this blog, but if I counted all my other blogs, probably much earlier) but also a spiffy button to put on your site (I [...]
Let me reiterate … improve your blogging by reading
Wednesday, August 24th, 2005Arieanna and I talked about this before. How do you get
better at blogging? How do you improve your writing, besides just
writing? Reading. I've said it I don't know how many times,
but recently I haven't been following my own advice.
Usually I am a voracious reader; tearing through 3-4 novels in a week is not unheard of. [...]
