I’m doing an MBA dissertation on small business bloggers and have created a resource site for the project: The Voice of the Blog (http://jeffreyhill.typepad.com/voiceblog/)
You’ll find over 50 companies using blogs in the Company Blogs section of the blogroll (including a few I picked up from Jeremy’s list).
By the way, I’d love to hear from any small business bloggers willing to be interviewed for my project. It’s all in the cause of academic research (and my MBA!)

You mean to say I don’t deserve it Darren? You’ve got to remember it’s two business blogs for the price of one.
Damn, I’m cheap.
