Mena Trott

Publishers of the popular Movable Type and TypePad blog publishing tools, Six Apart maintains several customer service blogs, including:

• SixApart’s homepage for general company news.
• Mena’s Corner, from Six Apart’s president and co-founder Mena Trott, “is our outlet for updates about Six Apart and the weblogging space through our perspective. It is, an attempt, to show the inner workings of a start-up and let the outside world understand the challenges we face and achievements we accomplish.”
• Everything TypePad, for product and customer service announcements about the company’s hosted solution, TypePad (which is what we use to produce BusinessBlogConsulting.com).
• Movable Type’s homepage is also a weblog with product annoucments and customer service news for that product.
• Mena.Typepad.com, company president Mena Trott’s personal blog
• Ben.Stupidfool.org, Six Apart’s CTO, co-founder and Mena’s husband and high school sweetheart (awwww) Ben Trott’s blog, which it looks like he doesn’t update lately.

A new national magazine and website (it’s not clear, actually, whether this is a print publication at all) dedicated injecting social responsibility and personal fulfillment into the business world: “think Fortune meets Oprah with a dash of Vanity Fair,” says co-founder Anita Sharpe on her bio page. Contributors to the site include a couple of A-List Left Coast bloggers (Halley Suitt and David Weinberger), as well as towering management consulting guru Tom Peters, among others.

Robert Scoble

Robert Scoble, a Microsoft employee whose role is customer "evangelist," regularly posts a dozen or two entries a day, often into the wee hours, on subjects ranging from business travel, blog culture and general tech trends, but it’s mostly all Microsoft, all the time. No question, Scoble takes to the medium like a fish to water, speaking his mind and engendering large and loyal following. A poster child for how to do business blogging right, both as a thought leader and customer servant.

One post is a useful one for all our readers, The Corporate Weblog Manifesto.

John Porcaro

>From John Porcaro, with the big-ass title “Group Manager on Microsoft’s Home and Entertainment Division’s PR and Communications team.” A breezy combination of his thoughts on marketing and technology, as well as family and personal life. It’s not explicitly a Microsoft blog, but given his disclosure of his business title, it can’t help but to reflect on Microsoft to a degree. A nice blending of the professional and the personal.
