I've been collecting examples of work-related blogs recently (an enterprise that generally just requires seeing what Steve and Franz post), and via Gridskipper found one that completely fascinates me: English Cut, a blog by one of London's bespoke tailors.
I think that in addition to appealing to my barely-suppressed Anglophilia (I did write a book about Victorian astronomy, after all), what I find compelling about the site is its discussion of the craft of tailoring, and the street-level view of the business. (Of course, Saville Row isn't your ordinary street, but still.) I think it's safe to say that corporate blogs are still very much figuring themselves out; but blogs like this-- written by individuals, offering a window into their occupational practice and culture-- make instant, immediate sense.
Indeed, it's a good model for our own efforts to do interesting blogging with-- or for-- our clients.
