Mack Collier's Top 10 Corporate Blogs

  Love what Mack and The Viral Garden is doing in grading top corporate blogs. Too many experts tout the merits of social media and corporayte blogging without ever having built one or at least looked at the best ones that exist. Mack has graded fairly and has picked some jewels that I love and some I didn't think even existed.

These Guys Guys are Good...Playoff Style

As golfers go, Mike Weir has turned himself into a pretty good pitch man and not a bad golfer either (nice second place finish in the 2008 Deutsche Bank championship today)
