Poynter.org – Knowledge Management Weblogs. (SOURCE:Scripting News)-Klogs preserve tacit knowledge: the useful and essential stuff that everybody needs to know but is somehow never documented.K-logs typically are internal weblogs for organizations, usually accessible via a corporate intranet. The basic concept is that a company might have multiple k-logs for various departments, as well as a corporate-wide k-log. In each department, all employees and managers can post items to the weblog — which of course is read by everyone else in the department. These internal blogs are in effect a running newsletter for each department — with announcements from management, news posted by employees, and just about anything that others in the department need to know. In some cases, all internal e-mail and instant messages between employees are automatically posted to k-logs. And each item has a feedback mechanism, so that discussions can take place on the k-log about anything that anyone appears on the weblog. [Roland Tanglao’s Weblog]
