IBM's Big Blue bloggers

Email This Entry

Posted by Dominic Basulto

Micro Persuasion (via Scoble) points to the recently-launched internal blogging initiative at IBM:

"As has been reported on a variety of blogs around the net, IBM today is publishing an announcement on its Intranet site encouraging all 320,000+ employees world wide to consider engaging actively in the practice of blogging."

In just the past 18 months, behind-the-scenes efforts to interest IBM employees in blogging has resulted in 9,000 registered users in 65 different countries, 3,097 individual blogs (1,358 of them active) and a total of 26,203 blog entries and comments.

Now that the blogging effort has gone official, the IBM Blogging Community has drafted a number of Corporate Blogging Guidelines that are "designed to guide IBMers as they figure out what they're going to blog about so they don't end up like certain notable ex-employees of certain notable other companies."
