Workblogging

One post ago, I used the word “workblogging.” I’m not sure if its widely in use or not (google evidence is inconclusive), or if it is, what its widely accepted meaning is. But for myself, I’m using it to refer to blogging in a work setting, specifically as an internal communication tool, complementing email and the phone.

I’m trying hard to promote workblogging at my office, as an ideal means of cross-pollination, knowledge capture, transparent/accountable decision-making, and so on (more on this later). But to communicate the concept, I needed a simple catchphrase that can communicate the notion of “blogging at work” and provide a conceptual rally-point for people - workblogging is it!

    I love the concept of workblogging. Makes a lot of sense in the corporate environment. Like blogging in the non-business world (blogs themselves, Twitter, Facebook status updates, et.), there is a “lightness” to blogging that should enable a more free exchange of information and ideas. RSS is critical to enabling this.

    Email still has a very purpose-driven, task-oriented usage that inhibits the easy exchange of ideas. Email is good for those purposes, but it still keeps a lot of organizational potential locked up.
