The blog channel
July 18, 2006
Business Week Online is running a column by me, Lessons in Corporate Blogging, aimed at helping companies sort through the pros and cons of launching a blog. It draws on Dell's and Microsoft's recent blogospheric experiences as well as on Apple's modestly framed blog (yes, Apple has a blog).
Also, on my essay blog, Digital Renderings, I've posted "Great Product, Lousy Business," an article that examines why great technological inventions - like the supersonic jet - sometimes go nowhere in the marketplace. This is a slightly revised version of a piece that appeared originally in Strategy & Business.
Advertisement: Are you ready for "The Big Switch"? Nicholas Carr's new book "is the best read so far about the significance of the shift to cloud computing," says the Financial Times. The Independent says it's "lucid and mind-boggling." Order now from Amazon.com.
