Would Carl Icahn blog on BloggingStocks?

I'm blogging. You're probably blogging. It's the "in" thing to do. And now, news surfaced this week that billionaire investor Carl Icahn may begin blogging on his corporate website, The Icahn Report.

In Carl Icahn prepares for a blogging debut, News.com explains that "Icahn, who is making a second run at Motorola's board, is considering using the blog to highlight reports that either he or his associates pen on a range of corporate governance topics, from excessive pay at underperforming companies to moves that fall short of being favorable to shareholders, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal."

In the wake of this news, ReadWriteWeb ran an article called A Guide to Billionaire Bloggers, showcasing some current billionaire bloggers and several they would want to see blogging.

It's an interesting trend that wealthy, activist-type investors are turning to new media to champion their causes. Mark Cuban uses his blog to write about lots of different things, including business.

So, I welcome Icahn's entrance into the world of blogging. He'll have to work hard to keep up with the likes of me...
