Web logs — or blogs — started as a way to talk
about new technologies, vent about life and interact in a
no-holds-barred forum. Since blogs became the next big thing, an
increasing number of companies have come to see them as the next great
public relations vehicle — a way for executives to demonstrate their
casual, interactive side.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — When Chuck D and the Fine Arts Militia released their latest single, "No Meaning No," several months ago, they didn’t try to stop people from circulating free copies on the Internet. They encouraged it.
The result has been the creation of a flood of derivative work ranging
from classical twists on the hip-hop piece to video interpretations of
the song. The musicians reveled in the instant fan base. They were so
pleased that they recently decided to publish their next entire album,
due later this spring, the same way, becoming the first major artists
to do so.
