Corporate Blogging as a new marketing communition tools


A corporate blogging is published and used by an organization to reach its organizational goals. Hence, it’s allow people to posts and comments which is easy to reach and follow due to centralized hosting and generally structured conversation threads. Nowadays, a lot of major browsers such as Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer 7 support RSS technology, which enables readers to easily read recent posts without actually visiting the blog and it is very useful for low-volume blogs.

There are many different types of corporate blogs, most can be categorized as either external or internal. An internal blog is generally accessed through the corporation's Intranet, is a weblog that any employee can view. The informal nature of blogs may encourage employee participation, free discussion of issues, collective intelligence, direct communication between various layers of an organization and a sense of community.

While, an external blog is a publicly available weblog where company employees, teams, or spokespersons share their views. It is often used to announce new products and services (or the end of old products), to explain and clarify policies, or to react on public criticism on certain issues. It also allows a window to the company culture and is often treated more informally than traditional press releases, though a corporate blog often tries to accomplish similar goals as press releases do.
