A GROUP OF GIANT US multinationals have formed an organisation called the Blog Council to promote "best practice" in corporate blogging.

Sheesh.

Founder members are AccuquotE, CiSco, Coca Cola, DelL, Gemstar, GeneraL MotorS, MicrosofT, NoKiA , sap, and WellS FarGo.

"Major corporations use bogs differently while abiding by the same rules and etiquette," according to Bog Council CEO AndY SemOVitz.

"We still need to deliver a respinsible and effective corporate message but we need to do it in the complicated environment of the bogosphere. We have to speak for a coprorate but never sound corporate. And we have to learn to do it live, and in real time."

What a load of bogging tosh. µ

really lame...

They're actually talking about ROI from blogging...&#xD;
&#xD;
Blogging is about self-expression, this will turn anyone joining their rank into a PR person who operate a blogging script...&#xD;
&#xD;
And seriously, nobody would go to your blog if the content is optimized for ROI by the "Blog Council"&#xD;
&#xD;
Btw. I do not blog.

We have to learn . .

To just shut up. Corporate blogging is the wart on the foot of a skunk. Only other skunks are going to be interested.&#xD;
Corporate blogging is even lamer than regular blogging. Who do think you're fooling ? Are you at least a PR ? If not, you're just a moron doing a PR job without the pay.&#xD;
By the way, the spelling mistakes in the article are excellent proof of the tenuous grasp bloggers have of their own language.&#xD;
And if you don't know how to communicate properly, how the hell can you possibly say anything interesting ?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
