So, there's lots of interest from marketers in the concept. But I'm no longer a corporate analog per se. Or did you miss photowalking? Have you even watched my show lately? And your blog might not be about Warner Bros., but you certainly make Warner Bros cooler simply by blogging and you don't hide the fact that you work there. Any of those three guys would be great, that isn't my point. But do any of them read 633 feeds and share those with you on a Google Reader link blog? No. So, how can you be so sure that I can't tell you what's going on in the blogosophere better than any of them? Well, Channel 9 got to 4.3 million unique visitors before I left.

Records any more than its about pugs. Merlin, Peter, Chris Pirillo, anyone would be more representative of the blogosphere as a whole than corporate analogs such as yourself, the Channel 9 crew, etc.. Sorry, just an opinion. Corporate blogging? Lame, as an entire concept, because, like I said in an early post, it imposes unneeded organization and hierarchy on something meant to be chaotic.

Did any of those guys write a book on corporate blogging? Did any of those guys ever work in a big non-media company? Have any of them put more than 800 unedited video interviews out on the Internet? Your blog has ads and you are an employee of a record company. Pot calling kettle black maybe? What did I ever do to you? Did any of those guys write a book on corporate blogging?
