Earthlink, a large ISP has a blog whose goal is to provide people with information and help that enables them to evaluate the tools and resources to better protect their computers, themselves and their families while online, Earthlink Protection blog. The contributors are managers with responsibilities such as Privacy Officer, Product Manager for EarthLink’s Spyware Blocker, Director of Product Management for Communication Applications etc. They write well about stuff they understand and work with. The blog will provide some useful information to their customers and others.
The only thing that confuses me slightly is the categories. I can’t see any categories on individual posts and clicking on any of the categories in the sidebar just gives me a very similar selection of articles for each category. A structure for a blog where most people might be looking for specific information is important and categorisation should be the main tool, as should be a search option. Most people might not read it everyday, but will check it when they have a question, problem or simply are interested in what experts have to say. And that’s when they need to get to the information fast and easy.
And, I put it to you, ladies and gentlemen of the blogosphere, no comments or at least teensy-weensy trackback...?
