Sunset for Company Blogs? Perhaps, But Blogs Still In Demand for Content
It is difficult to believe that anything worth saying can be said in 140 characters or less.
A USA Today story observes that a number of U.S. companies, Bank of America included, are abandoning the company blog, in favor of the “nimbler tools requiring less time and resources, such as Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter.â€

Once the hotel has identifying information in hand it might thank the poster for the good review - perhaps with a gift basket. In the case of a negative review, it might send an email asking for either a reconsideration or a chance to readdress what was wrong with the person’s stay, [...]

Nestle, which has weathered its share of corporate crises and protests over the decades, handled this one poorly, in large part because the company was caught off guard by th [...]
