I’ve been following the expansion of corporate and organizational blogging in Europe for a while now.
It’s an impressive development – a widening spectrum of blogs and subjects starts appearing. And I think it’s encouraging that many examples are from other businesses than the expected early adopters in technology and marketing/pr.
All blog examples can be found at the European Corporate Blogs page. It is just examples. I update it weekly but I have neither the possibility nor the wish to make it a complete list. Even so, it is a list that could inspire you. Let me take you for a short European blog ride.
Starting in Romania we find Doza de responsabilitate. It’s published by the Open Society Foundation Romania, an organization that “…upholds the values of freedom, democracy and rule of law […] in pursuit of its mission to support the development of an open society in Romania.” Now that’s an important task for a blog to be part of.
Taking the step over to Netherlands, New Values tells us about the the trade in emission rights and Guarantees of Origin at their community blog. While in Holland, we could also get some judicial advice from JuroFoon. Not that we need it, since we’re interested in harmless things. A quick flight takes us to Sweden where a bike manufacturer speaks passionately about their products.
With a European perspective it might be interesting to pay a visit to the CEO of a haulage company that transports goods all over Western Europe. I know him, and even though he doesn’t update as frequently as many would recommend, he tells me that his blog delivers exactly what he hoped for – media attention.
Well, there are others bloggers who writes more. Just hope they don’t get burned out. But if they do, there’s a blog helping them (and others) in Germany.
