Citizen Journalism Vs. Business Blogging

Friday, December 12, 2008 by jennifer buscher
I recently read a blog written by Lisa Hoover on Daniweb.com.  She states "In the old days (meaning around 18 months ago) it used to be enough for a company to simply have a presence on the Web. A homepage with contact information was sufficient, and you were considered bleeding-edge if the company president was blogging."  All of this is true, however I would take this 10 steps further and suggest that it is no longer good enough to simply have a blog. 
I think you have to have a corporate blogging strategy and by that I mean know your goals and the blogging platform that will help you acheive those goals.  If your objective is to be a citizen journalist and have a web outlet then Wordpress or Typepad will work very well for you.  If your goal is SEO and lead generation then you need a business blog software like Compendium.
