Blogging, New Media, Etc.
Last night The NewsHour on PBS had a story about new media - how newspapers are getting more readers online than through subscriptions and how they're doing web-only content, including streaming video and podcasts. Also mentioned was grassroots journalism, and blogging was dimissed as a "commentary-only" realm.
Yesterday, CNN published "Corporations enter blogosphere," by the AP. It's an odd story since it doesn't contain any links to the blogs mentioned.
Heading the pack of corporate hacks is GM's FastLane, a blog that's making me want to get a lil bitty car to replace my gas guzzler.
Intelliseek is a company that gets paid to monitor online buzz. They have a corporate blog that looks incredibly boring and this thing called BlogPulse that monitors blogs.
Richard Edelman heads a PR firm and likes to talk. I haven't read his posts yet, but I guess I'll check it out at a later date.
Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, has short posts here.
Jonathan Schwartz's blog is very techy. Which makes sense, since he's president of Sun Microsystems.
Micro Persuasion is written by a balding white guy about "how weblogs and citizen journalism are impacting public relations." Because the man is even trying to take over blogging.
Stonyfield Farm sponsors five blogs. They make great yogurt and their prez got hooked on the idea while volunteering for Dean's campaign.
Randy Baseler, VP of airplane and death machine manufacturer Boeing, blogs here.
Mark Jen, web-famous for being fired from Google for blogging blogs here (at his new corporate home).
