Blogosphere loses its examples of corporate blogging
Robert Scoble has announced he’s leaving Microsoft. On the heels of the promotion of blogger Jonathan Schwartz to the position of CEO of Sun, the Blogosphere has lost its only two examples of corporations productively allowing non-CEO employees to blog.
Pundit Doc Searls commented, “Now we’re down to three CEO bloggers and like a gazillion teenagers writing how much they hate their English teacher.”
In a note pinned to its site, the Blogosphere said it was going to “shut up about itself” for a while until it had time to come up with some new examples. [Tags: scoble humor blogging blogosphere]
PS: The Boston Globe illustrated its AP story about Scoble with a photo of Shel Israel, Robert’s co-author. You can see just a bit of Robert’s ear and eye where he’s been carefully cropped out of the photo.
PPS: Best of luck, Robert.
