I come from Italy and now I live in Brussels but the situation in my country is the same. Many managers I met in the past thought that blogs are something useless for their jobs but they read normally blogs to get informations. It's funny!! One of them said me that who surf around blogs have too much time to spend but not him because he worked hard all day long. I think they are too busy and too lazy to really understand what a blog should do for their activities. I am surprised when some of them says "I am really interested in new media and today it's impossible for our business to go ahead without using new media"...what do you mean when you talk about new media? "Internet and web site". I agree with you Monika. I come from Italy and now I live in Brussels but the situation in my country is the same.

Unfortunately the Belgian environment is not too much different from the overall situation – take the Fortune 500 as an example <a href="http://www.eu.socialtext.net/bizblogs/index.cgi" rel="nofollow">http://www.eu.socialtext.net/bizblogs/index.cgi </a> . According to this source only 40 out of 500 companies have active corporate blogs that makes just 8% in total. So the Belgians can catch up pretty quickly:-) Thank you for your comment Tom.

There should be more CEOs starting a blog. Another belgian CEO who blogs is Jean-Louis Van Marcke from Bobex. The adress is: http://www.belgablog.be/. I also set up a list of corporate blogs in Belgium as a wiki. If you know other corporate blogs, feel free to add them to the list. I agree with you. There should be more CEOs starting a blog.
