Corporate Engagement finds a new home at Crikey Blogs

I am pleased to announce that Corporate Engagement has been moved, in it's entirety, to the recently created Crikey Blogs platform. We're still waiting for a bright, shiny new banner but I've been familiarising myself with Wordpress and posting to the new site in recent days, so if you wondered why my posting frequency had dropped off, that's why.

Corporate Engagement has been going since February 2004 (itself replacing an original blog I started with in November 2003 on the Blogger platform).

Moving to Crikey is the next step in my blogging adventure and an exciting step it is too.

Crikey is the first media site in Australia to fully embrace bloggers as bloggers rather than as journalists doing a bit of blogging on the side or outsiders being brought into provide some additional content.

The Crikey blogs are real blogs managed as blogs by real bloggers. That's BIG I think. I hope other media sites, particularly the ABC and SBS, might eventually do the same. (update: I should also mention that Wotnews, formerly Plugger, is also very blogger friendly too).

Aggregating blogs in this way and promoting them off a media site (although not an MSM platform) will give us bloggers access to much larger audiences and it will introduce many new readers to the potential of blogging.

So here goes, I hope you will drop by to the new home of Corporate Engagement and give me your feedback.

And if you have any suggestions for posts, please drop me an email ...

Thanks for the positive feedback, Trevor. This is exactly what I was hoping we could create for Crikey - so I'm glad to hear that it's working. :)
