Comments for Advanced Organizational Communication Blog
I believe blogging in cooperations is a good idea and can be benificial to a company. It is a great way to get a companies name into the web so people can start to recgonize big companies. When people are reading the blog, they can get information about a company and make a judgement on it. Although sometimes people can write negative things about companies on blogs, it is important for companies to make sure whoever is writing for their blog is doing things to benefit the company. When a member from a company is writing on the blog about their positive views of their company or why they enjoy working, or whatever positive they are writing about- it allows readers to see their place of work as important and credible. It also allows members of a company to stay connected to the entire business, which helps because many businesses are very large. Communication is a extremly valuable tool in fowarding a companies progress and a blog is a great way to relay information as well as leave it open to suggestion and comments.
nice article. But i really do hate blogging. this is good... i support it. I liked the topic.
thanks.
Blogging for a company is a good way to get out the positives that company likes to show people. Picking a good representative to blog is extremely important so they give the right information away to the public. People who like blogs and enjoy reading them can see a point of view on a company and gather information on it as well. Blogs also help people stay connected with each other whether this be members of the company or others looking for information about that company.
I think it makes sense for a organization to pick someone who cares about and is interested in the company to write their blog, becuase it will make the public interested. I think that if you choose someone who didn't really care about the organization or didn't feel connected to the organization it would make it hard for the public to gain interest in the organzation. I just makes sense to pick someone who is interested to interest other people.
Blogging period is a successful way to release tensions a person may fell about things that go on within an organization, saying that those that care about the organization should be the only bloggers doesnt seem right, those that dont care should also be allowed to blog based on the fact that their blogs can bring to the attention some of the things the organization needs to fix as a whole, and ultimately make it a better organization.
The article makes sense to me. Blogging can be very helpful to influence buyers. In saying that, it is very important to pick a good person to represent the company. A respectful person who cares about the company would be a good choice because they will recruit buyers rather than turn them away. If someone who did not care were to blog about the company it would pull negative attention to the company and discourage buyers. It makes perfect sense to have a person that cares to blog about the organization.
Honestly,
who really cares about blogging that much that they dedicate one to a company. As a customer i do not care enough about a company to read their blogs, i am more interested in their service or products. This blogging phenomena is like facebook, too many people with too much time on their hands!
I didnt even realize that most companies even had a "Blog", I agree that picking the right person to be your blogger is a good idea but I also feel that anyone who wants to blog much like I am doing right now has the right to, there for a company needs to be careful because anyone with a computer can get on here and write anything.
I think it is natural for people who have worked for a organization for a while to use "we" instead of "the company" all the time. It makes it sound like that person is more in touch with the company. I agree when you say that the company needs to be careful when they choose the person who will be writing blog. It needs to be someone who loves the organization and their job. If a negative person is picked to write the blogs it can potentially ruin the businesses name. Even though I'm not a blogger myself it sounds like a good way to get a companies name out in the open.
This article was very intersting. I didn't know people cared that much about blogging and what it represents. Good Article!
I think it makes sense for a company to choose a person who cares about the company to do their blogging for them, but at the same time I don't think that blogs are that important. The service and quality of the products is what really matters. Also, if I read blogs about a company (which I don't) I would never show signs of identification with the organization based on their blogs. I only find myself identifying with an organization if I am a satisfied regular consumer of their products.
I believe that it makes a lot of sense to pick someone who truly cares about the cause to blog for the company. Like it says in the article if you pick someone who cares it will make the company look better and therefore a ripple effect will happen causing the popularity of the company, and it's mission to become more apparent and known. I agree with how you feel in this article and support blogging!!!!
I do believe that if the blogger has a strong organizational identification then they have the means to get the public involved in the the organization as well. If this employee is enthusiastic about the company then the readers of the blogs will gain the same enthusiasm from the article.
It really surprised me that blogging was this popular that big companies would be doing it. I, myself really never have got into blogging because to be honest I really do not understand it, but I could see where it could help a company. I can see where people could identify with the company and build a closer relationship with them. This would then benefit the company.
Well written article and interesting point of view! Personally I believe corporate blogging can be somewhat helpful to the company to help learn what the public thinks about their products. I never got into the blogging phenomena but I can see how it could benefit the corporation as well as the employees.
I beleive the decision when hiring a blogger for a company is an important one. A person with interest in the company should be chosen. When the person is interested and active in the company they can relate more effectively to people who may be looking to learn more. A negative person may not be the best person to choose when blogging for a corporation. By effectively communicating and creating a community around a company is a effective way to spread a company's name.
I really did not know that blogging had such a big effect on the company they write for. I personally am not a blogger and have no idea where to even start looking for a blog, but I think it makes sense that the organization needs to pick a person that will represent their company well. This article does make a lot of sense for a organization that is interested in blogging. Who knows if they pick the right person if could start a whole "community" of bloggers.
Yeah, I agree with Amanda above. While some companies might find blogging useful, I don't see many companies benefiting from it. Plus, I would probably never go searching for a blog because first of all, I wouldn't know where to look, and second of all, the blog comes from one person so it is mainly composed of only thier ideas and not the entire company's. However, if a company decides to enter the blogging world or blogosphere they should definitely hire someone who will speak highly and who will represent the company in a positive way.
This article had a great point of view in that it will probably help the organization if a blogger had helpful and positive things to say about a particular organization, thus people would want to buy products from the organization. when it comes to an organization its a good idea to blog otherwise blogging has no point. I personally do not like blogging because that is what text messaging is for (or open supervised forums!) 
The article was very interesting. I didn't know that so many people cared about blogging.
If a company did blog, I doubt that they would put somebody in charge of blogging who wasn't competent enough to do so in the best interest of the company. So obviously this would not be a factor. All in all, I think blogging is pointless, especially in a business sense. There are more professional ways to promote and educate society about a company.
I agree with the aspect of you need to choose the right person to be the "face" of your company, whether via blog or not, sure the saying is don't judge a book by its cover, but if that book has a nasty moldy cover are you really going to touch it to even start reading it?
I think corporate blogging is something great for companies to do. It can not only create an open enviroment for it employees but it can also create an open market for contacting clients. Many news stations, like CNN have blogging which people can talk to other people who are watching the same show and talk about there ideas. Having blogging in corporations is a great idea.
great article....interesting to see how much thought is put into something as simple as blogging.. its crazy how something like blogging can have such a big impact on a major business....
I'm not a big blogger but this article was interesting. I think that is good to have someone that is able to write a blog and have it represent everyone.
Informative and interesting article. Personally, I am not a blogger, but I do believe that positive blogging and representation can increase a company's recognition. Blogging is a good way to produce advertisements and create a good image (which is why it is important to have a reliable employee writing the blog). Organizational blogging is an effective way to produce a positive representation of a company and possibly influence and attract future consumers.

Blogging is very important and helpful to a company. Bloggers develope realtionships with readers and also can promote the company. I think companies should be more involved in blogging, it will help their organization to grow and be successful!!
I thought that the article could have been more clear, and a little more detailed. The article might have been a little too short but then again its only an overview. The points that it does show are relevant to our discussions in class
HEY HEY HEY !!!
I believe that blogging can be biases because it is only coming from one person and I think it just allows people to get on and complain or get overly excited for the purpose of the article! Intresting article of course!!!!
I am personally not a fan of blogging. If i was ever interested enough in a company to follow up on them, i would use any other source rather than blogging. I do not argue that coorprate blogging can benifit companies, However, what ever employee from the company decides to blog i think it is important that they know who their audience is. Overall, blogging may be useful to some but not every one or every company should blog.
I really like this article. I think it is very true about choosing the blogger and making sure the blogger identifies with the company, is a good representation of the company, and cares about the company. I'm glad I'm learning about company bloggers. It is really cool to hear about it. I think it is very interesting to hear that there is a ripple effect with more companies now. I did not think that companies focused so much on blogs. Thank you for teaching me something about corporate blogging.
Blogging is just another way for people to give their opinions on a topic that they care enough about to spend five minutes out of their day to write on. If an organization uses the blogs of people who are positive about their organization then it would be in their favor. However everyone isn't positive, so then corporate blogging wouldn't be beneficial to them.
Very interesting article...
I feel its extreemely important that companies pick very personably and easily-understood people to write their blogs for them. Blogs are important because they keep everyone updated and express opinions. I didnt realize how important they are at first but not that i think about it i can see why they're used by companies.
I think blogging is a very effective thing, especially in companies. It is a very easy way for people to get information and ideas out and around the business.
I think it is a great idea. And I do believe you should have a person that is passionate about the company, and someone who shares the same goals of the company to do the blogging. Nice article.
To sum things up, blogging really depends on the attitudes and beliefs of those who choose to type. From a company's standpoint, any individual who is able to effectively convey the positive aspects of his or her employer is sure to be on the up and up. Essentially, how one identifies with a company is solid evidence of his or her commitment, or lack thereof, to the common goals of the corporate world.
