I'm compiling a list of business blogging for high tech companies and for what purpose the blogs are used. For this list I'd like to define a high tech company as one that develops, builds or makes a product. I realize that the definition of "high tech" is a bit elusive as is "product", but this is what I have so far. I would welcome any additions or comments.
Sun: many employee blogs & CEO, +JavaOne Conference & Java technology
IBM: has some 2800 internal blogs & many for developers, product management and other
Microsoft: an enormous number of internal and external blogs on products, technology, communities, in addition to Microsoft Evangelist/Blogger Robert Scoble
Macromedia, 20+ blogs on products, for developers & customers
Google: both official (about search engine, tips etc) and unofficial (rumors, news, opinions)
Yahoo: employees on products, search etc
HP: perhaps a dozen or so blogs on technical (for software developers) and executive blogs (worldwide marketing, services, alliances)
Cisco: one blog lobbying on public policy issues of concern to Cisco
Apple: no company blogs on site, but some 20 employees blog and several unofficial ones
Red Hat: executive and developer blogs, they also had a blog on their roadshow, but it was taken down
from own research and some from Jeremy Wright's blog via Commoncraft
You can find more business blogs from high tech companies in the Corporate Blogs List and the CEO Blogs List at the NewPR Wiki:
