2:05 am mikestenger: So, corporate blogging. I kinda have to go w/@daneblogger because most aren't in that arena but oh well. #blogchat
2:05 am TeeRiddle: Does corporate blogging hurt the "little guy" that is trying to break into blogging? #blogchat
2:05 am joshua_d: loading up TweetChat to watch @LionelatDell #blogchat
2:06 am JDEbberly: @shortformernie Hi there Ernie!! Good to see ya on #Blogchat

2:07 am shortformernie: @JDEbberly Ditto! #blogchat
2:07 am lindsaysydenham: @TeeRiddle I don't think it hurts the little guy. Corp blogging exists for an entirely different function - transparency. #blogchat
2:07 am mikestenger: @TeeRiddle There's many inviduals out there who's blogs are far bigger than large companies & who connect better #blogchat
2:07 am daneblogger: @resultsrev cool! I didn't knew how many there was into this. But well I think there is lots who isn't in to it. At least I am not #blogchat
2:07 am Sue_Anne: @mikestenger Most aren't, but lots are talking about it and want to be there. They're just trying to figure out how. #blogchat
2:07 am kseniacoffman: @TeeRiddle Why would corp. blogging hurt the 'little guys'? Corp blogs are part of company comms so objectives are different. #blogchat
2:07 am CharityHisle: @TeeRiddle I don't think corporate blogging hurts the 'little guy'. Blogging is equal opportunity... #blogchat
2:07 am JoeHage: Q: I've got this @amazon ad from "ads by 140 Proof" atop my TweetGrid stream. Is that a #blogchat or @TweetGrid thing?
2:07 am w2scott: @resultsrev small biz still need to understand dos & don'ts, best practices and conversation (cc: @daneblogger) #blogchat

2:09 am kseniacoffman: @Sue_Anne @lindsaysydenham - Agree w/ 'transparency' - and also to create an additional channel of communications w/ customers #blogchat
2:09 am mikestenger: Listen: If ur company is just going to sell & pitch & not actually build a relationship, then quit blogging. #blogchat

2:10 am kseniacoffman: @lionelatdell Do you manage/oversee all of Dell's blogs, not just Direct2Dell? #blogchat
2:10 am GetResults: @Sue_Anne @lindsaysydenham - is it about transparency or recognition of a new, exciting, medium that must be addressed? #blogchat
2:10 am ICT_GURU: @Sue_Anne G'day stranger! Only ever see you in the cool chats! #blogchat
2:10 am grtaylor2: @LionelatDell as a corp blogger how restricted are you with topics abd posts? #blogchat
2:10 am JDEbberly: RT @KellyAGraham: Don't most readers expect corporate blogs to be just another form of advertising #Blogchat
2:10 am jonathansaar: @AtlantaPR everything is well- Peggy Waskom was a huge success- thanks for your help! enjoy #blogchat ;)
2:10 am ridgelyjohnson: I 'm with Mack on this- does Dell try to guide your blog content or do your readers? #blogchat
2:10 am mikestenger: @burhop True that Mark, didn't think about it #blogchat
2:11 am resultsrev: @w2scott Absolutely, Will. Stepping away from soapbox now ;-) #blogchat
2:11 am MackCollier: Sorry guys, Twitter is really screwy for me right now, I think #blogchat is to blame ;)
2:11 am CharityHisle: @TeeRiddle I think sometimes the 'little guy' has the advantage of authenticity and trust. Corporate really has to earn it. #blogchat
2:11 am rayferreira: It's much harder for small biz to have its thought leaders focus on blogging when they're jammed with billable projects #blogchat
2:11 am knmu: @KellyAGraham Unfortunately many are, but I don't expect it. There are so many more valuable things corporations can do with blogs #blogchat
2:11 am ICT_GURU: RT @mikestenger Listen: If ur company is just going to sell & pitch & not actually build a relationship, then quit blogging. #blogchat
2:11 am JDEbberly: RT @ridgelyjohnson: I 'm with Mack on this- does Dell try to guide your blog content or do your readers? #Blogchat
2:11 am kseniacoffman: @GetResults For me, a corp blog was an extension of our twitter channel; sometimes you cannot put everything in 140 chars #blogchat
2:11 am avasiare: @KellyAGraham Which is why I feel it is hard to build a community in a corp blog, Dell has done a good job. #blogchat
2:11 am sharonmostyn: That's me! RT @burhop I don't know. Most bloggers have real jobs too... working for companies that are getting interested in #blogchat
2:11 am kevinks: What are good corp blogs to show what "doing it right" looks like? #blogchat
2:11 am TeeRiddle: So everyone reads Trust Agents and now wants to "seem" transparent while actually still sticking it to consumers #blogchat
2:12 am LionelatDell: @MackCollier And also to provide service to customers and connect with them on a variety of topics they want to discuss. #blogchat
2:12 am kseniacoffman: @CharityHisle Corp blogs different have a problem w/ authenticity; most ppl would expect 'spin' from a corp voice #blogchat
2:12 am resultsrev: (P.S. to my followers - sorry for the excessive tweets - hoping to learn from @LionelatDell tonight on #blogchat. I'll be done in an hour.)
2:12 am JDEbberly: OT post here: i found that I don't have hangs anymore once I changed browsers to Opera 10.5 #Blogchat
2:12 am lindsaysydenham: 100% Agree. RT @CharityHisle I think sometimes the little guy has the advantage of authenticity and trust. Corporate has 2 earn. #blogchat
2:12 am sharonmostyn: They shouldn't! RT @KellyAGraham: Don't most readers expect corporate blogs to be just another form of advertising? #blogchat
2:12 am ICT_GURU: @MackCollier Haha see what one of your ideas has started! #blogchat
2:12 am MackCollier: RT @LionelatDell: Our core content strategy for @Direct2Dell is to focus on educating our customers about our products & srvcs. #blogchat
2:12 am 4byoung: RT @CharityHisle: @TeeRiddle Sometimes the little guy has advantage of authenticity & trust. Corporate really has to earn it. #blogchat
2:12 am monicalynn21: Makes sense @kseniacoffman For me, a corp blog was an extension of our twitter; sometimes you cant put everything in 140 chs #blogchat
2:13 am CharityHisle: @TeeRiddle That's a bit harsh. I think some intentions are good... sharing information, opening doors of communication. #blogchat
