If you are looking for a new way for a company to blog and/or are a history buff, read on.
Wells Fargo’s blog — Guided by History — is not new, but worth a good look this week. Earlier this week — April 18 — marked the 100th anniversary of the great San Francisco Earthquake & Fire.
Being a financial institution, there are some limitations for a Wells Fargo blog:
The banking/finance industry in the US is among the most heavily regulated in the world, and among the most attacked by hackers. As a bank, there are regulations that prevent us from obtaining your personal informationâhence the restrictions in our blog comments that prevent you from submitting your full name.
If you have time, take some to browse the site and learn about the 1906 quake, and learn about being prepared for emergencies and disasters.
Interactive tour: From the Wells Fargo archives, view the effects of the earthquake, path of the fire, and other cool stuff.
Information about events of the week in San Francisco: Earthquake Conference, marketing the time — 5:12 a.m. — when the quake beagn, the day’s parade, among many others.
Topics and information to prepare for today’s disasters.
There are tones of photos and several podcasts, plus first hand accounts and other historical information.
Just goes to show that there is more than one way to corporate blog.
