1 Fortune 500 CEO Blogs. 499 Do Not.

Posted on April 26, 2006

Jonathan Schwartz, the new CEO of Sun Microsystems, is continuing his blog now that he is the CEO. As the Blog Herald and Neville Hobson point out, this makes him the very first blogging CEO of a Fortune 500 company. It still leaves the CEOs of 499 other Fortune 500 companies without CEO blogs. Maybe this will encourage other CEOs to start blogs, but don't count on a rapid growth in the number of Fortune 500 blogs from CEOs. One of the main reasons for the lack of CEO blogs in the universe are valid concerns from the legal department.

Update: Jonathan Schwartz's blog is no longer available.
