Today's wiki-of-the-day is the Fortune 500 Business Blogging Wiki
Have you wondered about how in-tune the Fortune 500 companies are to the social networking technologies? The Fortune 500 Business Blogging Wiki is a directory of the Fortune 500 companies that have business blogs. The listing was originally created as a collaboration between Chris Anderson of Wired Magazine and Ross Mayfield of Socialtext. It has developed into a wiki, a website where its visitors can easily collaborate and add content without any technical knowledge. The wiki notes that approximately 9% of the list blog, as of December 2007. This number seems rather small. You can see their list of companies which blog, links to sample blogs, and some reviews on the wiki. Do you know of more? You can contribute to the site!
BTW, the PBwiki blog, The Daily Peanut , mentioned in September 2007 that over one-third of the Fortune 500 companies has used PBwiki. Wow! I would have suspected that more would be blogging than working in the wiki world. If that many have used PBwiki's hosting service, then how many more are experimenting on other wiki hosting services? Maybe we can find some to explore on this blog. I imagine many are private wikis with limited access. We'll keep our eyes open for them! You can post a comment or send an e-mail to me about any of the Fortune 500 wikis.
If you're still wondering what's the difference between a wiki and a blog, check out the post on Wiki'd Ways today.

Thanks for the post about the wiki, we are up to almost 11% of fortune 500 companies blogging now. I was thinking it would be great to conduct a similar project with wiki's in the fortune 500. I suspect more are using wikis than blogs.
