Blogging for Business

This article is interesting because it addresses how the ease of publishing and the potential interactivity of BLOGS makes blogging a viable entry in the business intranet/internet environment.

One of the things about BLOGGING that appeals to me, is how it is a way to share URL's and web content/research with readers in a way that allows the reader to choose when to read & what to read.

The article quotes: Traction Software's Lloyd (who) sees blogs as a meaningful alternative to email. He says, "Rather than sending a monthly or weekly email cc'd to 1,000 people with a Word file attached, you get a continuously updated stream with a link back to interactive detail and the ability to ask a question by clicking and adding a comment inline."
