Whatever your political persuasion — right, left, or center — the blogosphere is a great place for bloggers to share their political views and make plenty of friends and enemies. We try to follow the conservative, liberal, and everything in between of politics and political blogs/blogging — but only when it intersects with business blogging.
Have a read below of our latest entries on politics and political blogging…
Aside from Google AdSense and Overture Content Match, what other networks are there that focus on blog advertising besides these?
And don’t say Weblogs Inc. or Gawker, as those are publishing ventures, not networks in the sense that any existing blogger could simply leverage them to sell ads on their site.
A colleague asked me what percentage of Fortune 500 companies are blogging. Interesting, though I don’t know. (Let’s presume we’re talking about just public blogs, and real blogs, not faux blogs or intranet blogs.) I guessed somewhere in the 3-6% range currently. Unfortunately, the Fortune 500 list is now a premium feature of Fortune.com, so I’m doing a simple gut-check on what firms make the list at this point. But here’s a short list off the top of my head:
That’s 1.2% right there, but I haven’t really thought too hard about it yet. Who am I missing?
UPDATE:
I’m not sure Google and Yahoo! are technically 2004 Fortune 500 (I’m working on finding a friend with a login so I can check), but if not they miss it by a hair’s breadth, given each of their $3+ billion in revenue last year.
Reader John Ridings points out that Cisco also has a blog.
Jeremy Wright adds a post on his blog of all the F500 companies he knows of with internal blogs, which is naturally a lot longer than this one of public blogs.
Steve Rubel suggests taking those and making a stock index out of them, which he bets would track better than the S&P 500.
Debbie Weil points out that HP also has several blogs.
