About this wiki
This site began as a collaboration between Chris Anderson (Wired Magazine) and Ross Mayfield (Socialtext). A post giving the background of the project is here. Original data compiled by Wired Magazine. See the About page for more details.
As of October 2007 John Cass (PR Communications) is working with Ross Mayfield (Socialtext) and has instigated a volunteer effort to expand on the existing wiki and combine the wiki with the Fortune 500 Blog Project Wiki, another wiki project that sought to review all the Fortune 500 companies that blog.
Once we've got this list in pretty good shape, we plan to add share price data to create a Business Blogging Index, comparing the stock performance of companies that blog with those that don't. Here's why. A spreadsheet version of that with a snapshot of this list from 12/30/05 is here.
This wiki also contains information about Global 1,000 Business Blogging efforts.
We are exploring the Spectrum of Corporate Social Media for further classification.
Using Socialtext
Please feel free to add or modify pages -- even this one -- as you see fit. That's the idea of a Workspace.
- If you'd like an introductory tour of the Socialtext Workspace, start here.
- Visit Recent Changes every once in a while to see what's new, and see Help for tips to use this Workspace.
- Make links by putting words or phrases in square brackets. Click on Edit This Page to see some examples.
