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...

Zack Miller is the Managing Editor of IsraelNewsletter.com and a former equity analyst for a leading multinational hedge fund.
