Enterprise Blogs - Enterprise Blogs are a collection of blogs that are tied together using a shared content repository. Enterpise Blogs provide greater security, functionality, and taxonomies (structured vocabularies) as well as folksonomies (unstructured).

Long before a couple of bloggers were feeding us bs; journalists, advertisers, experts and politicians were doing a mighty fine job of feeding us innumerative bs.

WOW - I came across this post today doing my usual del.icio.us run. What energy, read it and you'll get really exicited about all the changes happening on the net. "It's a Whole New Internet -Something is happening right now, and the developer community has an electric gleam in its eye. Curious, inventive people are making cool stuff again. There's been a notable shift, and it's incredibly exciting.What will happen when amateurization and folksonomies make their way into enterprise web applications? What happens when IT managers can tag Oracle's product documentation with their own words? Where will our bookmarks go when the idea of the "webpage" becomes obsolete?

Invention inspires invention. Ideas are collapsing into each other, recombining, and having powerful effects. The Internet has always been a medium for democratization, and by reconnecting with our idealism we're once again uncovering its poetry, nobility, and transformative power."

Don't you think it's interesting that we have books that directly tie corporate performance to employee morale? What gives? Did you ever read the Monk Story? A simple tale about treating people with respect.
