UPDATE: I created a wiki on corporate blogs in Belgium to allow everybody to add their blog. Click here to go to the Corporate blogs in Belgium Wiki.

—————————————————————————————————–

I’m writing my last year’s paper (not sure if this is the correct translation for the french word “mémoire”) on corporate blogging in Belgium and I’ve created a list of companies using a blog. I haven’t found a similar list on any belgian blog yet. If there are any, it would be great if someone reading this could send me the links.

A survey from the Belgian PR Agency Leads United shows that only 6% of the 70 PR/Communications managers surveyed have implemented corporate blogs. You can find more detailed information of this survey on the conversationblog and on the cross the breeze blog.

Here is the list of the corporate blogs that I have found. This list is by no means complete. It doesn’t include the internal blogs and only a few Dutch-speaking blogs. I’m having trouble finding the Dutch-speaking blogs because I don’t understand the language. It would be great if somebody who speaks Dutch could send me links of Dutch-speaking corporate blogs.

I’m not entirely sure if all of these blogs can be considered “corporate blogs”. If you think that some blogs don’t belong on this list, don’t hesitate to tell me. As I said, this list is incomplete and if you know any other corporate blogs, just leave a comment.

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog!

My name is Tom Kayser and I’m from the little country of Luxembourg. I’m studying public relations at the UCL in a city called Louvain-la-neuve in Belgium.
This blog is about public relations on the Internet, social media, Web 2.0, blogs in general and corporate blogging. These last months, I’ve been following the blogosphere more closely and after reading a lot of books about social software and blogs, I have decided to join the conversation and have my own blogging experience.
