As Marnie is asking for my opinion in his comment on my previous post, there goes my impression about the article (in fact, two articles).

Good points:

  • build and update a website the easiest way: a blog as an easy to set up and manage Content Management System
  • a blog as a means to show that you know and what you know
  • very good point talking about the blog in the field of knowledge management and project management - I really liked this

Weak points:

  • too much emphasis in Google and importance of blog in internet relevance: I guess there’s many other things to take in consideration such as meta tags, correct web design, content, etc.
  • should include some explanation about syndication, RSS feeds and so to include not only the blog publisher point of view but the reader’s - maybe the article’s part III? ;)
  • the example goes round and round in blog’s role in audience impact in different ways but same concept but should also cover dynamic information to members - I know this is more about intranets than blogs but… aren’t they that close one to another?
