Kathleen Gilroy: weblogs vs. email discussion

Kathleen cites an interesting post about how a weblog in a course at the University of Maryland was getting much more commentary than email discussion boards. She asked the professor who replied, "one, like all the rest of us, my students now get a lot more email than they used to. Course-related mail gets mixed in with the usual jumble of spam and whatever else. All too easy just to hit the delete key. Two, the blog allows them to see their ideas instantly published on the Web. Email is a closed world, a self-contained loop between the instructor and the other students. With the blog, the fourth wall is always open."

"The former editor of the Silicon Alley Reporter, the once high-flying chronicle of Manhattan's high-tech mania, plans this week to launch a new venture, Weblogsinc, that intends to make a go of publishing business-to-business blogs...He expects the topics to fall under four main categories: media, finance, technology and life sciences."

StudioID: Blogging in Corporate America

"This is a presentation I gave to the Usability Professionals Association on 16 September 2003. The full title was "Making sense of weblogs in the intranet: What they are, why people are using them, making them useful for knowledge management". I talked about weblogs inside my company, their use in knowledge management, and how my organization is hoping to make them usable for enterprise knowledge work if the number of blogs in the company increases significantly."

Common Craft: How I Would Implement Weblogs in Business

"In retrospect- a Weblog could have been extremely valuable to me and the company. Using a Weblog, I could chronicle the daily activities, learnings, experiences and developments of the community. As the community grew and interest spread, the Weblog could have become the best single resource for understanding the internal workings of the community, why it works, what we'd learned, what the manager does, what the members think, etc. I could have reserved 30 minutes a day to post what I'm thinking, doing, learning."

KM World: The truth of weblogs

KM World: The truth of weblogs
"Weblogging as a persistent conversation provides a balance of views with the same self-correction mechanism that's built into conversation itself. There is still a risk that wrong information can be put forward, but objectivity never escapes that risk entirely either. And the intersubjectivity of weblogging has some benefits that have to be weighed against the risk: It encourages innovative thinking, it shoots down bad ideas quickly, and it allows natural talents to surface and flourish."

Business 2.0: Blogging for Dollars

Business 2.0: Blogging for Dollars
Business blogs are more likely to be focused on projects or teams than on their individual creators. For instance, a marketing team at Verizon (VZ) uses Traction software to track market conditions and competitive intelligence. Members of a product development team might use a private weblog to which they contribute notes and ideas regarding the development process. Customer service reps could contribute problem fixes and customer notes to a collaborative weblog and refer to it later -- kind of like a continuously evolving user manual.

Information Week: Are You Blogging Yet?

Information Week: Are You Blogging Yet?
What's more, and this is key, there's built-in motivation for people to participate in blogging: They get credit for their ideas. A blog is essentially a repository of a person's intellectual capital--a record of their thoughts, observations, contributions. People may switch employers, but they'll take with them electronic journals of their best ideas. Blogging is a way to protect the most important brand of all: yourself.
