Chrysler has launched a blog for the working press. Can’t help but wonder what are behind those firewalls that can’t be let out to Chryslers’ customers. If any bonafide ‘working press’ people register would love your take on the new blog.
Thanks for your interest in TheFirehouse.biz, the Chrysler Group’s
media-only blog. We will issue media registration rights to members of
the working press only. A member of the working press is one who is

representative of a known and established media organization
(newspaper, magazine, television, radio, etc.) If you would like to
resubmit your registration, we would be happy to reconsider it.

This is perhaps the dumbest move I’ve seen in the world of weblogs. It can be likened to building a new headquarters with floor-to-ceiling window glass, but then painting the windows black. What Chrysler doesn’t understand about weblogs could fill a book or two.

Such a German thing to do…
Daimler Chrysler has a blog for “real media” people only (here – via Business Blog Consulting). Pathetic – but in line with the quality of their products. Yes I did finally buy a Benz for my wife a few years…
