The oldest corporate blog?
A simple (but to me quite relevant) question popped into my head this morning as I was updating my dissertation outline.
When did corporate blogging start?
As in, which is the first, earliest, oldest corporate blog? It’s only natural to sketch the development of corporate blogging when you’re going to write something informative about the phenomenon, but I can’t say I have any definite idea on who the fist blogger in service of a company may have been. Jonathan Schwartz was probably the first CEO of an F500 to blog, but there must have been other, non-exec bloggers before him.
Ideas?
(Note #1: I’m shamelessly pinging a few knowledgeable people who might know.)
(Note #2: Yes, I do subscribe to the idea that “crowdsourcing” is just a euphemism for “too lazy to do actual research”. So shoot me.)
