UtiliPoint is undertaking a quick snapshot survey on line into blogs in the energy/commodities industry. We want to know if you use blogs and/or if your company has its own blog.

Blogs are attracting more and more visitors each day on the Internet and are proliferating quickly.
According to Wikipedia, a blog is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

There are now many energy, natural resources and commodity targeted blogs including UtiliPoint’s own such as www.etrmcommunity.com and www.utilipointeuropeblog.com. But how widely read are they by energy industry professionals and how many energy companies today actively use blogging to communicate?

This short Internet survey is designed to get your feedback on blogs in the energy space and the results will form the basis of a subsequent Issue Alert. UtiliPoint would much appreciate a few moments of your time to complete this short survey.
