This post is part of a series covering Fortune 500 corporate blogs.  Today we’ll take a look at the #7 Fortune 500 company, General Electric (NYSE: GE).
GE has a relatively well-known blog called From Edison’s Desk - Global Research Blog (feed).  It has not been claimed in Technorati, which is a shame.  But 40 blogs [...]

I love scouring the Web for tasty morsels of business blogging (or pro blogging) wisdom and saving you some search time.  Here, come feast your eyes on these:
101 reasons for your small business to have a blog by Brian Brown - Isn’t reason #4 enough?  Okay, that, and #95.
Similicio.us - This great little blog search [...]

Continuing my series looking at Fortune 500 companies‘ use (or non-use, or even mis-use) of corporate blogs, the corporation du jour is ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), number 6 on the Fortune 500 list.
For starters, the company’s name is easy to misspell, and my first recommendation for ConocoPhillips is to buy ConocoPhilips.com and make it redirect users [...]

Continuing my series on Fortune 500 corporate blogs, I’ll now look at Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), #5 on the Fortune 500 list.
Ford doesn’t seem to have any blogs.  Well, there are two possible exceptions that I found.  Ford has no current blogs at Blogs.Ford.com - the only one I could find, the 2005 Ford [...]

Here are 6 things about the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) that maybe you didn’t know until you read this.  If you already knew these 6 things, let me know and I’ll tell the world about it.  If not, I deserve a pat on the back or some chocolate!

This series reviews corporate blogs (or the lack thereof) among Fortune 500 companies (the top 500 U.S.-based public corporations ranked by gross revenue).  This post will look at the blogging efforts of Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX).
I searched high and low for Chevron corporate blogs.  The Chevron website does have a news area where you can [...]

Yesterday I set the stage for today’s review of corporate blogging efforts by General Motors (NYSE: GM), the third-ranked Fortune 500 company.  This is part of a series on Fortune 500 corporate blogs.  (Did you know that ExxonMobil and Wal-Mart barely amount to a blip on the business blogging radar screen?)
I couldn’t find any other [...]

General Motors (NYSE: GM) is the third-largest Fortune 500 company.  Here’s a sneak peak of my in-depth review planned for tomorrow:
GM has a portal for its two corporate blogs at GMBlogs.com.  (I haven’t done any deep searching for other GM corporate blogs yet.)
The Fastlane Blog dates back to January 2005 - so it’s older than [...]

I’m always on the lookout for solid new blogs about business blogging (using the term broadly).  Here are five that I’m sure are mostly (or perhaps completely) new to you:
1. BlogCoffee by Kevin Haynes - 8 days old.  Offers "resources, tips, advice, news, and information to bloggers."  Technorati doesn’t show any links to it yet.  [...]

Continuing this new series reviewing Fortune 500 companies’ use of of corporate blogs (see yesterday’s discussion of ExxonMobil’s apparent non-involvement in blogging), today it’s Wal-Mart’s turn (NYSE: WMT) to come under my scrutinizing eye (and hopefully yours, too).  Wal-Mart is the #2-ranked company in the Fortune 500.)
I can only find one official Wal-Mart corporate blog.  [...]
