There is not just the personal blog nowadays, perhaps a corporate blog which is written by executives and senior managers who have some level of authority in the company. They are the ones who are known to their customers and they are in a position to take decisions. They create the blog to promote their own company including the history or background information, their sales products and services and so on.
The definition of corporate blog is a blog published by, or with the support of, an organization to reach that organization's goals. There are five types of corporate blogs which are company blog (eg.Google, Adobe, Flickr, Facebook, and Yahoo! Search), CEO blog (eg.Sun CEO), industry blog, department or product blog (eg.Microsoft Community Blogs), and customer service blog.
