In that case, I see two kinds of companies 1. Those who have websites OR into technology so they have their own website and blog in their own domain 2. Those who do not have their own website OR who deal with an audience that is very non-techie. For such an audience, having a blog on Blogspot will help, because only then, it gives them a feeling of reading a company blog and not some press release or news. But I doubt if companies use any other blog platform.. Third is of course, Google that tries to promote its Blogger site with its blogs.
