Business blogging is mainstream

In 2006 we dedicated ourselves to helping to move business blogging from being a cutting-edge technology to being part of every company’s communications plan. Just by looking at the numbers from the first few months of 2007, there’s no question that we have made remarkable progress, thanks to the help of our community and our incredible partners.

Take a look at just a few of the many highly regarded companies and institutions that have become Six Apart customers just this year:

• GlaxoSmithKline
• Johnson & Johnson
• PriceWaterhouse Coopers
• Oracle
• Weather Channel
• CondeNast
• Warner Bros
• Advertising.com
• Penn State
• University of Melbourne
• Grainger
• Accuweather
• LifeTime TV
• The Australian Broadcasting Company
• Fiji Waters
• ClubMom
• Bell Canada
• BabyCenter

And the list goes on and on, and when you add these to the multitudes of small businesses and professionals who have installed Movable Type or signed up for TypePad accounts (many of which are featured here), the picture is clear: Businesses have decided that blogging is good. And blogging going mainstream is a sign that these companies are seeing measurable results. So, if you’ve started blogging for you business, or you’ve helped others get started, or you just engage with businesses through their blogs, we wanted to say a quick thank you for helping bring business blogging to a new level.
