Corporate Blog:
[1] why your company needs one for P.R. and
[2] why I'm the guy to do it.

[1] See [a] The Wall Street Journal ("Blogs allow firms to assume a natural tone rather than the public-relations speak typical of some static Web pages, and readers are often invited to post comments.");

[b] Business Edge ("If businesses don't wake up to this point that's already tipped, they'll miss an opportunity to show the human face of the news releases."); and

[c] Business Week ("Go ahead and bellyache about blogs. But you cannot afford to close your eyes to them, because they're simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself. And they're going to shake up just about every business - including yours.").
