A Guide to Corporate Blogging with words of advice from HP, Intel and Cisco

My good friend and social media strategist, Reem Abeidoh, just interviewed me and my colleagues Tac Anderson (HP) and LaSandra Brill (Cisco) for a post she wrote on Pro Blogger. Here is an excerpt from the intro paragraph:

In order to maintain a competitive edge, corporations are increasingly looking for opportunities to make them stand out. Although traditional media serves as a solid medium that disperses company messaging to the world, the trends of information consumption are evolving. After some initial hesitancy, corporations are slowly starting to realize that it is important to jump on the virtual bandwagon of blogging. This medium represents the missing ingredient that traditional media lacks: the ability to directly connect a company to its customers.

I encourage you to read to entire article, as I am often quoted of course; and it is also well written, thorough and comprehensive. Reem does an excellent job articulating her words of wisdom with our interview answers.  Both Tac and LaSandra are also fellow contributors to Conversations Matter.

    It’s a fantastic guide but corporate blogging can still be daunting because the typical blogging application was not built for the corporation nor was it built with a blogging coach to assist you.

    You’ll hear a lot more about our company in the near future, but if your readers would like to see an application that exceeds this guide’s goals and provides all the search tools and coaching needed to be a successful business blogger, I’d welcome you to a demonstration of Compendium Blogware.
