A few weeks back, I talked about online reputation management and using search engines to help stay on top of things. While I mentioned quite a few companies (like Quixtar and Wendy's) that were taking advantage of the Web for PR purposes, I overlooked one of the most obvious and applicable examples - search engines.

Loren Baker has a good article over at Search Engine Journal that talks about how the major search engines are making use of blogs for public relations purposes.
