Dell will officially launch its Dell Channel Blog on Friday. The blog’s tagline is “A Voice of PartnerDirect.” (PartnerDirect is the name of Dell’s 5-month-old channel program.) Readers will be able to link to the site from Direct2Dell.com, which is Dell’s blog about products, services and customers.

Dell announced the blog in late April. Amie Paxton, Dell’s channel community manager, has described the blog as a place for partners to tell Dell what they think and to connect partners with Dell’s small business community.
