While browsing through Google's blogs, I stumbled on Google's "Public Policy blog":http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/. A blogging strategy makes sense for Google--given who they are and the scale of their ambitions. But it was the first time I've encountered a corporate (read: official) policy blog. It would be interesting to know if there are official policy/lobbying blogs from other companies as well and how effective blogs and other social media vehicles are in actually helping a corporate interest move an "Overton window":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window. (Update: I guess Cisco has a "policy blog":http://blogs.cisco.com/gov/ too. Linked from Goog.) And they have an atom "feed":http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/atom.xml if you want to subscribe. (Disclaimer: As a consumer, we use Google's services and have received donations of "Google Earth":http://earth.google.com, but otherwise CTF has no affiliations with Google.)
