Corporate blogs

Tomorrow I’m going to be setting up a corporate blog at work. My goal is to use it as a tool for inter-group communication. We don’t have a good way of distributing knowledge to a lot of people at once and my impression is that a blog would fill that need. I’m of course going to be using Wordpress to set it up; it’s idiotproof, offers the user management features that I need and I hope to be able to introduce RSS and the advantages of syndication to other people in my group and in the company. I’m not sure they’ll take to it like I have (I plan on using Thunderbird for RSS syndication of this internal blog).

One of the first things I did at this job was set up a wiki; two years later I’m setting up a blog. It’ll be an interesting experience I think and it’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while: partially to boost the “soft” skills that will be required of me but also to show initiative. When you’re pushing for something you have to provide as few reasons as possible for people to doubt you and as many reasons as possible for people to believe in you. Irreplaceable without domination. That’s my motto these days.to
