I wish Google did not have 47 separate domains it uses for blogging.

You want Google Search, Google Docs, Chrome, Android, and Google Cloud to all share the same blog? Not to mention lesser-known areas like Google Education and so forth...?

  Even their security research group has, at least, six different outlets. They are "blogging the org chart". googleprojectzero.blogspot.com, security.googleblog.com, cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence, bughunters.google.com/blog, blog.google/technology/safety-security

    That tells me there isn't a single security research group, but at least six of them. Which doesn't surprise me. Shouldn't they be blogging the org chart? When I want to follow updates, it's generally from a particular part of the org. Each group has its own separate mission and its own audience.

      they should have single blog, and tags for you to filter...

        Google is a huge organization. No it shouldn't. That makes as much sense as saying every Y Combinator startup should post on a single shared blog, with tags to filter by company. No -- a single blog should revolve around a single group of authors writing around a single, concrete theme -- an individual product, product suite, initiative, or similar. The idea of a single blog with 500 posts a day from 500 different people sounds terrifying, tags or not. It's too many tags -- like, you'd need tags for the tags!

        They already have a big blog, primarily for product https://blog.google/ https://blog.google/ which has various tags and subfeeds

        And? It has a couple of posts a day on average. It's extremely high-level. It's not aggregating the probably hundreds of posts you'd get across the entire corporation. You'd never in a million years want content like this mixed in with that: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/ https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/
