Embracing Web 2.0 - Sun Microsystems

I've been looking for an IT B2B company that has really embraced and found success using web 2.0. This podcast really resonated with me - The B2B Marketing Podcast » B2B003 - Ingrid Van Den Hoogen, SVP, Sun Microsystems. I knew about Sun's employee blogging, but I learned about other initiatives such as Second Life.

Another interesting point mentioned in this podcast, is how Sun Microsystems has changed their brand from high end server to a real systems company.

Also, I posted previously about a keynote presentation from David Suzuki and since then, I've been more aware of corporate eco-responsibility. This podcast talks about the UltraSPARC T1 Processor which uses less energy and benefits the customer in energy and cooling cost savings. It seems like a win-win situation for the customer and the environment.

This is one of the best podcasts I have heard lately.

Thanks for the tip. Sun's interview was very good, as were some others in this series. I liked Oracle and Tibco's interviews too for different reasons.

Thanks Ian. I am looking forward to hearing the others, because the Sun one was so well put together. I'll check out Oracle and Tibco.
