K-Log Attitude Adjustment: In Oar Pullers and Sail Inventors Jon Udell points to an interesting posting from Jim McGee. McGee's article is worth reading. He points out that K-Logs are going to be scary for everybody and he is right. As developers working on my team start to make statements about our groups efforts I will no doubt cringe at one time or another. I seem to recall Dave Winer saying roughly the same thing when his people (Jake, I think) began a weblog. McGee also exposes some false thinking on my part. My concern has been about others not trusting me (e.g. our Legal department). I now see that the onus is on me to be responsible. As webloggers, especially corporate webloggers, we must take responsibility for what we publish; ensuring its integrity, ensuring its accuracy, and presenting other points of view. 1:11:50 PM

What is Userland Up To?The first feature in a long time that depends on Radio's built-in outliner. I tried to puzzle this one out all night, but have not come up with anything yet. I love the Outliner. OPML is great, though I rarely use it directly - except to save outline files. Where does RSS fit in? Could they be looking at representing a news feed as OPML? or maybe an entire weblog as OPML - similar to using Radio as a Manila editor? The latter could be nice; it would give us a way to edit a site from multiple locations. 10:08:50 AM Google It!

Bing! is the word of the day as word of Radio Community Server spreads through Corporate America and academia.  [Scripting News]
Yet more hope that Radio really can catch on at all points. OK, I already drank the cool-aid. I am using the tools, probably against the wishes of my employer, but in a determined desire to make things better. I need to shape up, live the vision, and toe the line!9:59:26 AM Google It!

More Feedback on K-Logs: Russ Lipton sent the following comment: You are right about the negative push but the positive pull is knowledge as a competitive advantage. One argument I would make internally is that K-Logs make it EASIER, not harder, to determine when something is truly dangerous legally. The real exposure legally is all the knowledge flying around that is not being tracked in any way at all. In other words, the exposure is worse without K-Logs than with them. How is that for a neat argument ;-) ?
This is an interesting argument. It seem to put the onus on Legal to understand what knowledge is being shared and when we might be treading on dangerous territory. It is not exactly where I was going with the paranoid argument, but it is a good one nevertheless. |

Pushback on K-Logs: Steven Vore shows that not all big companies are alike. I sense that we might work for employers at two extremes. At any right, it is clear that I work for one at a very conservative extreme and should not allow that experience to taint my perception of all big companies. If there are more companies like Steven's out there, then I think there is tremendous hope for K-Logs. 9:44:58 AM
