Chevron, Ecuador: Amazon Post Is Chevron's new blog on Ecuador

Chevron's worked to get its side of the story regarding the Ecuador oil spill environmental issue and the involvement of Petroecuador, which took over oil production from the American oil giant in 1992. Frustrated in its attempts to counter the constant online assault wages by Amazon Watch, Chevron created a new site to tell its story: The Amazon Post.

The Amazon Post is a clean looking blog with three posts so far (they need about 57 more posts to have a site that starts making search engine hay) and the content focuses on the actions of the Ecuador Government. For example, "Ecuador government signed off on Texaco cleanup in 1998" or "Amazon Defense Coalition Fabricates Texaco Profit Figures In Ecuador"

Chevron has a good start, but it needs more content. The company does have a story to tell, and it should use the space to get the word out as often as possible.
