At this evening's Ebig.org blogging & RSS special interest group, Elisa Camahort talked about the value of the corporate blogger.
Elisa's session went behind the hype of blogging and focused on the idea that Blogs are another tool that marketers in companies can use, in areas companies are already familiar with, like marketing & pr, investor relations, customer outreach, and project management.
Some of the companies mentioned in the discussion included:

I have attached my notes:
Word (URL links work): Download another_tool_in_arsenal.doc
PDF (URL links don't work): Download tool_in_arsenal.pdf
If you can tell me how to create a Adobe Acrobat PDF without having to manually go through the arduous task of draw boxes around links and specifying URLs for every link, I would be grateful!)
Again, thanks to Elisa for a great presentation.
