Often referred to as a great example of a successful corporate blog, General Motors FastLane was one of the first blogs personally written by a senior executive. On FastLane, GM's Vice-Chairman Bob Lutz and others share their thoughts and opinions about the automaker's product line. Recently, GM has used its blogs to correct biased or inaccurate reporting in the mainstream media. The site has been closely analyzed and, along with critical praise, it has also received some criticism for not responding to all comments. Despite the criticism, GM has found the balance that works for them, answering questions they see as important and staying focused on the primary goal of the blog - discussing GM products.
