Sun’s General Counsel Becomes First Fortune 500 GC To Start a Blog

Matt Dillon, Sun’s GC, has trailblazed into the blawgosphere with his new blog which, according to press reports, is the first Fortune 500 GC Blog:

"Sun’s General Counsel, Matt Dillon (pictured), this week started a blog. He was evidently spurred on by the example of over 3,000 Sun employees – most notably, CEO Jonathan Schwartz but let’s not forget either Tim Bray (whose initiative it originally was, to bring Sun into the Blogging Age, and who as a result was specifically tasked with so ‘making it happen’ by Schwartz).

Why did he do it? In his very first posting, he tried to explain just that:

    "My primary motivation is a question that I am frequently asked. It comes in two forms. From others in my profession, it is articulated as: ‘What is it like being the General Counsel of a Fortune 500 company like Sun Microsystems’" From my children it is posed as: ‘Daddy, what do you DO at work all day?’"
