An interesting presentation about blogging as a Knowledge Management tool in large organizations such as Lucent. To me this makes perfect sense. One the largest struggles with KM has alway been to make it as unobtrusive for the user as possible - if you have to record 37 pieces of meta about everything you do, it just won't work. Blogging is both informative and social, yet it inlcudes easy-to-use tools for publishing and XML formats for knowledge aggregation and indexing. If companies can get employee enthusiastic about blogging, they will have a wealth of new knowledge that just wasn't captured previously. The challenge, as I see it, is to make it fun and interesting. So Knowledge Management really boils down to social engineering.
