Micron is blogging

Apparently Micron has been blogging since late ’06, although not very regularly. I don’t know of anyone that knew about this. I asked some of my friends that work there and they didn’t know. It seems that they have been quietly experimenting with blogs. There are no links from the front page, and no references on there site map, nor any references in there RSS feeds.  There are a few references buried several layers deep in the site. One of the only external references I’ve found to it at all is via StumbleUpon.

It seems a little bit curious though. Here’s the main blog page link: Micron blogs. There’s one on Automotive Memory and Imaging that has trackback capability but no comments. There’s one on Consumer Electronics also with no commenting but it also has trackbacks and only one post. There is one, which seems to be the most active, on Energy Efficiency, it has commenting enabled and the most recent post has a comment. The Mobile Theatre’s link is broken from the blog page but does come up when you type it in directly. This seems to be centered around a BSU competition of some sort.

Did anyone else know about this? I am pleasantly surprised that Micron is doing something like this. I think that these are all great topics for blog.  I would like to see commenting opened up on all blogs as well as more activity, but at least it’s a start.

What do you think of this effort? I’d love to hear from someone at Micron about this and what else they have planned.
