Blogging for KM & Competitive Intelligence

Web logs, or blogs, are being used for many things these day. Blogs are a natural vehicle for knowledge exchange, storytelling, and fostering online communities. They offer unique viewpoints and an incubator for new ideas. Darlene Fichter focuses on KM applications of blogging, while Arik Johnson focuses on their application in competitive intelligence—a low-cost, flexible, and customizable tool for collecting, analyzing, packaging, and delivering current awareness and early warning of market activities by customers, competitors, suppliers, and other forces affecting the future of an organization.

On blognets blasting by beauracratic barriers?

On blognets slashing learning curves? Turbocharging education?
