Two Week Sanction Appropriate for New Corporate Blogs

Dell launched their corporate blog, and have been getting a less than warm reception from the blogosphere.

I agree with Scoble, cut new corporate blogs some slack for at least two weeks before you give some criticisms.

“I think we should institute a two-week moratorium against saying anything bad about a new corporate blog.” -Scoble

I know follks are angry, annoyed, and unsatistifed, (or just really pissed) but give them some credit, their reaching out, the blogosphere will self correct them, give them so breathing room to stand up and just take a few steps.

Why am I so sympathetic, I guess because I’ve been through the same thing at my company launching corporate blogs –we got criticized too, but we listened and learned.

Seriously, let them get a new program up and running, then work in a collaborative method to improve their products, service, and support.

No kitties were harmed in this blog post.
