Many Enterprise 2.0 Application Companies are Blogging

I have been interviewing many of the enterprise 2.0 application providers. These interviews were first posted on the Fast Forward blog and then on this blog. Being a long time proponent of the value of business blogging, I have been pleased to see than many of these companies have blogs to better serve their client base and the broader marketplace. It takes time away from sales and development to maintain a business blog and a desire to reach out and provide an informal channel for feedback on your efforts. So I wanted to give them some recognition and encourage you to visit them. I cross-posted this on Fast Forward but already did another interview since then. Here are the ones I found so far. As I encounter more I am sure there will a part two. I have also created a library of feeds to these and a few more in the BlogBridge RSS Reader Guides. BlogBridge is an RSS service that also offers guides to blogs on a variety of topics. I will be writing more about them soon.

Take a look at what they are doing. Some firms have more than one blog so I picked a representative sample in those cases.

JackBe tries very hard to publish thoughtful, meaningful (and humorous, when we can) blogs about Web 2.0 in the Enterprise. Thank you for the recognition!

Thanks for listing GroupSwim. We try to keep things fresh. In addition to writing about Enterprise 2.0 and the product, we talk about semantic technology and the Cubs.

This is a very good list.

I’d be interested in feedback on the approach we have taken - as a 2.0 consulting firm, we’ve killed the corporate voice completely and made all content on our corporate website come from individuals using a blog mechanism.

Here is a blog post that describes our thinking in more detail

Are we crazy or is this the logical next step after tacking blogs onto a corporate voice site?

Bill,
Thank you for mentioning Wrike Product Blog. It’s a great place for us to tell our users about Wrike’s new features. As you probably know already, Wrike’s founder Andrew Filev is an expert in project management. He has his own professional Project Management 2.0 blog. There he analyses new trends in contemporary management and expresses some valuable ideas on innovations in this sphere.

Webinar on the "Future of Work"

On February 8th, we convened several leading thinkers for an excellent roundtable-style public conference call on the "future of work". The discussion was moderated by Bill Lucchini and included Steve King, Research Fellow at the Institute for the Future, Jim Ware, co-founder of the Future of Work and a contributor to this blog, and Yankee Analyst Josh Holbrook. We've now made the recording available - visit this post to listen to it and feel free to follow up with commentary and questions.
