Steve Rubel is tracking them and Shel
Holtz offers his
opinion on them at great length.
Cartoon characters have them. Gourmet Station has
one. Blogs certainly offer a unique opportunity to express the
'voice' of an organization and invite readers into a conversation. There's an interesting conversation taking place in
the comments of Steve Rubel's 'fake blog' post.
Why create a 'character' to speak for your group, company, or organization, when you can have a group of characters
blog as themselves? Is there a future in character
blogs? Heck, there sure is a 'present' in them as their numbers actually abound.
Read any 'fake' or 'character' blogs lately?

1. I have, almost ashamed to admit it, a favorite character blog:
