Corporate blogging has been with us for quite some time, with some major companies having forayed into the space in the early to mid 2000s. If you look at the recent statistics shared by eMarketer (" Corporate Blogging Goes Mainstream "), you'll see that only about a third of companies use blogs. Why is that? I was misinformed."
