Blog Council for Corporate Blogs
Although the act of blogging is quite often regarded as being produced, not in any particular writing format, but more so in writing styles respective of the bloggers themselves, the Blog Council is attempting to add form and function to this Online method of content presentation.
Blogging has developed itself from an Internet hobbyist’s spare time activity to a CEO’s marketing campaign.
What was once (and in many cases, still is) regarded as a free-time activity that only Internet junkies participated in, the blog atmosphere is now a crucial aspect of corporate branding and relationship building.
“The Blog Council is a community for official corporate blogs and bloggers that represent major global corporations.”
“Our mission is to address the unique needs of blogging in a corporate environment.”
“The Blog Council exists as a forum for executives to meet, share tactics and advice, and develop best practices. In its public role, the organization acts as a strong advocate in support of responsible, ethics-based corporate blogging.”
Will the missions of the Blog Council take the “personal” aspect out of blogs? We are using blogs to build relationships with our Online audiences. If a blogger must stick to standards, will the overall quality of the blog increase, or will site visitors lose touch with “the real” me?
How can you be involved with the Blog Council? A membership is offered.
