Sadly some of those you mentioned are in a position where they can get by without that kind of communication and the regular consumer is not their customer but they are many companies in the "everyday world" that could be taking advantage of these tools that aren't.

If your story is compelling in this area, then to me that is very attractive and effective blog material. But if your story is one of cover ups, lawsuits, consumer complaints, and legal investigations, well... It's not that such a company couldn't have a blog, but what the hell are they thinking acting like that in the first place? They have already been acting in ways that are completely antithetical to blogging. Getting a blog without a wholesale change of heart would not accomplish very much, in my opinion. Again, thanks for taking up the discussion. :) You make a lot of great points about how businesses should create content for their blogs.
