Blogging Software Used By Fortune 500 Business Blogs
April 06, 2010
What type of blogging platform should you pick? That's often a question I'm asked, and one way to determine the best blogging platforms available is to look at what your peers and colleagues are doing in the industry.
I thought I'd take a look at the list of Fortune 500 companies that are blogging, and describe what blogging system the Fortune 500 company is using for their blog.
I'm also often asked if you should use a sub-folder, a sub-domain, or give a blog its own domain. I'll give my advice on that topic in a future post, but in the mean time it is interesting to compare how each Fortune 500 company handles the domain issue for their blog.
