Corporate blogs are not a piece of cake, and trustworthy Corporate blogs are few and far between … Josh Bernoff from the computer analysis company Forrester says so in an <\/a>interesting report on the reasons why internet users do not trust most corporate blogs<\/span>. In fact, looking at Josh’s comments through a magnifying glass, it’s not just a matter of blogs but of weariness with the ‘advertising’ tone of voice used by too many companies.

The blog council has spoken out on the subject, following in the footsteps of Josh Bernoff of Forrester, by publishing a list of ‘trustworthy’ blogs that they felt were worth a visit.

So, in this new year, and before making any good resolutions, let’s raise our glass to the health of its authors. Here is a new year that is off to a good start.<\/p>\n
