Will keep an eye on your write up on UK companies using social media, looks pretty good.

It’s just come to my attention that FTSE 100-listed company BAE Systems also (or now) have a graduate blog. It’s in a section of their site called ‘BAE Systems and me’.
Worth checking out.

Thanks for including McKay Flooring in your list. It’s nice to see our social media work being recognised. We’re going to use social media even more in the coming months once we’ve integrated our blog into our new site (Jan 2009). My other startup http://zungalow.com will be getting similar treatment once it’s up and running. Thanks
Richard
