I’m doing research on Blogging for Enterprise and learned about this new term “K- Logs”, or Knowledge Weblogs. It’s exciting to see this fresh concept and all its potential. For example, Evan Williams, co-creator of Blogger revealed how Blogger enables Google employees to update personal pages within seconds to the company intranet.

According to John Robb, CEO of UserLand, K-Logs provide a cost-effective solution to problem where corporate users report that they cannot find the information they need to do their jobs on their Intranets. The ROI of K-Logs system is estimated to reach 1,170% as compared to traditional portal system at 240%.

I should highlight David Gammel’s HighContext blog which compiles a number of good links related to the knowledge management, as well as “k-log” Yahoo Group where members discuss the uses of weblogs in knowledge management

“Blogging provides a richer profile than static social software profiles” – Dina Mehta

Blogs can create a much richer profile than a typical static profile page on a social networking site.

Blogs are appropriate venue for more in-depth content (something that you won’t post in a forum)

Attended a lecture by Gary Klein, founder of the field of naturalistic decision making. A very interesting and inspiring lecture indeed. Abstract of the lecture:

The field of cognitive systems engineering attempts to provide guidelines for designing systems that will support cognitive functions. But what are cognitive functions? It makes little sense to be performing cognitive functions if we haven’t identified or described them. The presentation introduces the conceptual framework of macrocognition as a way to focus design and training efforts.

A good starting point is to look at SilkRoad products called SilkBlogs. The features that they offer, in my opinion, are what enterprises want.

In short, using blogs, enterprise could foster and create communication, structure organization knowledge, and archive them, at the same time collaborate, organize and build communities.

Found this interesting story about early days of Microsoft’s Website via Nick Bradbury. It’s kinda nostalgic to see how websites are designed in the ‘old’ days, and to see some bloopers that microsoft did.

And surely I’m inspired to begin saving snapshot of website that I did. Who knows…
