This one's so bad we're reluctant to even call it a blog. But that's what Foundry calls this collection of press releases, white papers and product data sheets. It's riddled with broken links and hasn't been updated in more than a year and a half. Curiously, the blog site gives readers the option to subscribe. If it were ever updated, that might come in handy.

1. Is the blog site easy to find from the company's home page? NO
2. Are bloggers identified human beings who are not in public relations? NO
3. Number of blogs: ONE
4. Is IT product information useful, or mostly just public relations? PR
5. Is there high-level discussion of issues important to IT executives? NO
6. How often are blogs updated? NOT SINCE FEBRUARY 2006
7. Is feedback accepted and displayed? NO
8. Do bloggers reply to feedback in a timely manner? NO FEEDBACK
