(SOURCE:"wirearchy")-Publish or perish/blog or die/engage in conversation or die! <quote> The big question in the not-so-distant future may be whether or not companies are willing to allow public discussion to flourish on Weblogs. A failure of nerve on the part of firms determined to stick with more timid, one-way communication may allow other, braver companies to achieve more "mindshare" by engaging the public. As Dornfest told NewsFactor, "Discussion is going to break out. Might as well have it break out where you can see it." </quote> [Roland Tanglao: KLogs]

A great deal of casual surfing goes on in most offices with a broadband connection. This activity can be turned into a company asset, merely by diverting such efforts into a series of online diaries known as 'weblogs'. In a process somewhere between a writing seminar and a driving lesson, I can educate key members of staff in the functional use of semi-private weblogs that, due to the unique nature of their treatment by databases such as Google, can be used as a powerful search engine optimisation tool for your site, or those of your clients. This consultation includes recommendations regarding choices of weblog interface and hosting solutions, plus assistance in the arming and seeding of weblogs (in order to bring in the initial audience and some solid search results).

I know someone recently was ranting about the casing of attribute names in OPML htmlUrl vs htmlurl, but I can't find the post now. Anyway Chris Pirillo ran into a problem trying to import his OPML into blogToaster, so it will now happily accept either htmlUrl or htmlurl. Enjoy! [Simon Fell]

So I've been talking to some companies here in Toronto, and a question has comed up for which I don't have a ready answer:

What companies blog?

Specifically, what companies maintain corporate blogs, either as home pages or as main features of their Web sites? I'm not in the best position to check, but maybe ya'll can help a little. It would be a good list to come up with in any case (if there isn't one already).
