Atlanta Business Blogs

04/02/2006

Corporate America is waking up to the risks - and enormous marketing potential of - the Wild West world of blogging.

Great opening sentence to  The Atlanta Business Chronicle's story about business blogs. The article highlighted several local companies who have ventured into wonderful world of blogs.  In addition to Earthlink (hey Earthlink when are you going to add a link to the blog on your home page?) and Cox Communications it was exciting to see two Diva Marketing clients included - GourmetStation and the Alliance Theatre (a blog for every show! Jelly's Last Jam / ...," said Said).

Abc_blog_artice__4_5 Thanks Justin Rubner for the mentions..it's a thrill to  be acknowledged in your hometown paper!

Sidebar: Thanks Scott Burkett, Pothole on the Infobahn, for the making the connection.

That said, where are the Atlanta companies that should be leading the charge in this new media? Coke lauched internal blogs but no business/marketing blogs. In 04 TBS was innovative and daring with a Vote Carrie blog

Borrowing from the Aussies' - Delta, Georgia Pacific, UPS , SunTrust ... where the bloody hell are you? And in the words of Bonnie Raitt -

People are talking, talking, 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it

The conversation is going on ... take a deep breath ... dive in! I'll even hold your hand.
