To your last paragraph I do think that companies should attempt to provide at least a basic level of comms training - even in the form of a simple Webinar and perhaps an "ask for help anytime" email link to the PR team - to every employee. It goes beyond blogs, as even non-blogging employees often are active on Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc. Every action on those sites also represents the company in some way, and at least being aware of some of the pitfalls of being quoted out of context, for example, could go a log way.
