For example, while many American companies use blogs as a tool for marketing, discussing corporate issues, or reaching out to customers, it is quite uncommon for Japanese corporations to have official blogs (we discovered this last year when we were researching the prevalence of corporate blogs here in the states).  Similarly, when researching for our international political website study last year, we also read that while the Japanese were pioneers of using the web for political campaigns, this campaign tactic has fallen by the wayside–Japanese campaign websites were less common than their American counterparts.  The health blog of ministers Takemi and Ishida are thus setting a great example for politicians seeking to use the web in new, interesting, and productive ways.

I started the blog and ran it for three years as an internal only blog, to help bring people along on what was going to be a wild ride. Screw the rankings, who has the first post? That's what I want to know! I've got 3/1 2003 in the archives....and since I lost the first year, that will have to do! Who's next? :) FWIW, Glass House (the Waggener Edstrom blog) is really not intended as a marketing tool but is more broadly focused on the changing nature of communications and our role in it.

I did one of Brussels based PR agencies last year in September. You would be amazed how few PR agencies use RSS to syndicate their content... And that in the city with the highest concentration of reporters per square meters. You can read the full post on my blog here: http://conversation.squarespace.com/journal/2005/9/10/majority-of-pr-agencies-in-brussels-do-not-use-rss.htmlPS: still working on my research of Belgian newspapers and their web 2.0 features use. Will keep you updated. Hi,We love to do those "ranking/research project" don’t we..? I did one of Brussels based PR agencies last year in September.
