Business Blog Wire

I often come across otherwise good websites and am saddened by their lack of two-way communicative options.  I’ve blogged before about why Honda should blog about ASIMO, its amazing robot.
Animation Mentor ought to have a blog too, IMHO.  Yahoo! News gives a good, brief report (via Laurie Sullivan at TechWeb) about this new Web-only animation [...]

I’m a three-month-old blogger!  (In blog years, that’s kinda like twenty, twenty-five - which is about how old I am in "real life.")  All right, so my official three-month blogging birthday was yesterday, but it’s close enough.  (I’m at 92 days instead of 90, too, but I digress.)  So let me talk a bit about [...]

The official Earthlink blog has been up for a few weeks now.  I noticed it the other day and thought I’d mention it as a good example of an official corporate blog.  Here’s why:
Name - Can’t go wrong with Earthling.  Gives it a human feel, while playing off the company name.
Tagline - "A weblog by [...]

Here are some excellent sites that I never got around to posting about this week:
FeedIcons.com - Encourages the standardization of RSS feed icons to that familiar orange square with the circle and the … you know the one.  (Or a different-colored version of the same.)
Andy Beal’s Marketing Pilgrim: SunRocket Giving Bloggers a Bad Name - [...]

Writely, an excellent (and free) online word processor and one of my favorite Web 2.0 tools, has just been updated.  That’s according to the official Writely blog, a humble Blogspot offering that nonetheless provides me with lots of excitement whenever a new post appears.  (Read my review of Writely.)
You can use Writely to collaborate with [...]

The Story: I wish I could take credit for this one.  Poynter’s Roy Peter Clark offers fifty writing tips (for free) that should prove highly useful for any business blogger.  Although these tips have been up on the Web for many moons, I doubt that the majority of corporate bloggers use or even know them.  [...]

I blog for Know More Media, Inc.  I’m excited to say that I’ve got lots of new company.
The Know More Media blog network has added seven new expert authors in the past several days.  These fine people will blog about different business topics - so, to me, that makes them fine "business bloggers"!

Walgreens, #45 on the Fortune 500 list, appears to not have any public-facing corporate blogs.  However, its discussion of RSS is somewhat useful.
Okay, so I like the Walgreens news page, even if it is feedless.  Walgreens could use a CEO/corporate blog to add a personal touch to its Web offerings (a la Southwest), [...]

In yesterday’s post, I promised that I would return to the subject of the amount of time and effort required to produce an effective business blog.  Today I want to explore that subject a little more by sharing ten tips on how to make a successful corporate blog (I’ll deal with personal money-making "business" blogs [...]

You may wonder how much time and effort are required in order to create and maintain a successful business blog.  I’ll address the subject more tomorrow - but for now I want to share an important thought.

I had many tasks to do today for Know More Media, and I enjoyed doing them.  [...]
