I'm trying to convince my emplyer, a small startup, to setup a blog for the engineers to write about interesting topic in technology we use daily. This would be a separate blog than the one dedicated for product and marketing stuff. I was thinking about something like Joel's blog but focused more on actual code rather than management.
Do you know of any successful existing blogs like that? Tech blogs run by the employees of a company?

Microsoft has several: besides the official MSFT blog, there's the Visual Studio Team blog, and the AppFabric blog. Netflix also has a tech blog, as do several divisions of Amazon. There's no shortage of these if you just look around; companies from startups all the way to multi-billion-dollar corporations have these kinds of blogs. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of these blogs likely have at least a semi-official process to disclose information, whether that's approval from a direct manager, or having the blog posts written by a manager instead of an individual contributor. You'll likely face similar restrictions, since your company will, mostly likely, want to protect its intellectual property. |
