Blogs in Business

article: EContentmag.com takes a look at weblogs in the business setting:

"While it's too early to know exactly how blog use will take shape in the enterprise, the blog has the potential to be a key business communication tool, especially as popular communication methods such as email become saturated. While blogs are still in their infancy and are only beginning to show up in the enterprise, they just may affect business communication in a couple of ways. First, the blog could be used by companies as an innovative way to communicate outside the company with customers (or distributors and suppliers) about a variety of topics related to what a company does. And second, blogs could be used internally behind the firewall as a way to distribute information that changes on a regular basis, perhaps providing a more sensible venue for news than the company portal or, by virtue of their inclusion, provide a compelling reason for employees to regularly visit and contribute to the portal."

Replace RSS with Weblog in that entire paragraph and the article becomes even more powerful. File...Print.
