The Fortune 500 Business Blogging Wiki

by Teresa Valdez Klein on September 18, 2006

While poking about the Web today, I discovered the existence of a very cool wiki designed to track the business blogging efforts of the Fortune 500.

According to the wiki, only 30 (6%) of the Fortune 500 companies have verifiable, active public blogs. Part of the goal with this conference that we’re plugging shamelessly is to do just that.

Via Gumption.

Strong: Steve made me aware that this is nothing new, but that doesn’t diminish it’s coolness :-)

I am finding that most large companies are having significant legal heartburn around the blogging format. Blogging as a form of corporate communication is not as polished as the official announcements that most marketing and communications officers would like, and many are afraid that an errant blog post will reflect badly on thier company.

It’s a good wiki. Does need updating, but that’s everyone’s fault, not somebody’s fault :).

I’m actually doing a post series right now on Fortune 500 corporate blogs. If anyone wants to help, let me know.
