Who knew corporations had blogs? I sure didn't! When tasked with reviewing a corporate blog - I was kind of, well, concerned. That is until I came across the Cisco blog, http://blogs.cisco.com/.
As expected the blogging team at Cisco is lead by a marketing manager. First off, my favorite thing about this blog is the layout. I hate how so many sites have the links across the top of their webpage to get you to the nuts and bolts of their site. Any self-respecting internet savvy individual has googled, yes that's a verb, the particular portion of the site they wish to visit. So as far as aesthetics go, Cisco has won me over. Of course, those pesky links must go somewhere so they are neatly displayed in columns at the bottom of the page, for those of you with OCD (yes that's me), you'll love it!
I'm a rather tech-savvy individual and I can't help but love what Cisco is doing for internet based technology. Many corporations rely on Cisco to provide updated equipment. In the featured post, "The Three Dimensions of Learning," the author points out how the company utilizes Neil Fleming's model for learning. This day and age technology is utilized in all forms, why not learning? He points out that trainers of technology must be aware that students are visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners.
From a business standpoint the layout of this site is genius, by outlining the most popular blogs posts they will ensure visibility. I hope you check out this interesting site, because you'll surely learn something!
