Motivations for Corporate Blogging
ringfinger writes "Ross Mayfield just posted an interesting blog essay entitled Fear, Greed and Social Software that examines the motivations (Fear and Greed) for corporate blogging. How many slashdotters blog for their companies? Do their companies fear that they might say something embarrasing? Or are they filled with greed for the additional exposure it generates?"
Blogging is the ultimate vanity... a public diary about "me" that the rest of the worls is just *dying* to read. I mean, really... who wouldn't want to know what I had for breakfast this morning?
Yeah yeah, but what about your ongoing internal struggle about choosing which different wattages of lightbulbs to buy?

Hello. Today is stardate 26-05-2005
I work for a large company. We are greedy, we steal and we overprice our products.
Today I had meetings about how we can enter other markets by utilizing our evil techniques.
I also tried to get a gmail account, but my name was already taken.
Tomorrow I will think of a new way to charge customers for all the security holes in our software. An antivirus combined with spyware-removal tool updated daily by my company maybe? hmm. I like that. I hope nobody reads these blogs. That's all for today
