Corporate Blogs Talk about the Future

Posted by Blog Council Staff on November 14, 2008

It can be fascinating to read about the future on a corporate blog.  Many who work in large organizations can use blogs to write about long-term issues that aren’t often reported in traditional media.

For example, Susan Promislo recently wrote a post on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s blog about a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) hosted by the Institute for the Future.  The game uses social media to allow experts and other participants to imagine what life might be like in the year 2019.  Since RWJF is a health organization, Susan calls out her obvious interest in the health scenario that posits a world overcome by a respiratory infectious disease.
