Who’s Blogging in Canada?
Dave Forde has created a list of the Canadian companies that are blogging. Sadly, it’s not that long - not because Dave hasn’t done his homework properly but because not that many companies north of the border have embraced blogging. You could chalk it up to Canada’s mysterious Web conservatism - a baffling phenomena where our enthusiasm for high-speed Internet access is way ahead of our adoption of e-commerce, online advertising and social networking. In theory, you would think that consumer-facing companies such as Tim Horton’s, Canadian Tire, Mountain Equipment Co-op and Future Shop would have their own blogs but as far as I can tell none of them are doing it. Why is that? Does it have to do with competitive issues? Are they still trying to get their heads around how to deal with e-commerce, let alone blogging? Or do they simply see little value in blogging?
