Last week I needed to put together a presentation about how enterprises are using blogs, particularly in the context of learning/leadership development in larger organizations.
The links below were a bit of a dumping ground for anything I found- some are more relevant than others. Thanks to the folks who sent email and commented with input. If you have additions, please let me know... Enjoy!

This is a great resource of wonderful information on the subject. I've only been through about six of the articles so far but I've put the rest on my reading list.
One thing that strikes me about corporate blogs is that they seem to break what for years has been one of the cardinal rules of business; employees don't communicate directly with the public unless they are a spokesperson. In the interview with Michael Wiley, Director New Media, GM Communications, at General Motors, linked above and at http://nevon.typepad.com/nevon/2005/02/an_open_convers.html, there was a bit of an exchange about the corporate lawyers. Michael Wiley responded that the lawyers concerns seem to have been addressed by the fact that the bloggers were at a fairly high level within the organization and should, therefore, have a keen understanding of what they should and shouldn't post. Contrasting this is the Ford Mustang blog, http://blog.ford.com/BLOG.CFM, in which the bloggers mostly seem to be first-level managers and engineers. I wonder what Ford's corporate lawyers think about their blog.
I guess I'm wondering if corporations are really throwing aside the veil of secrecy that has been the hallmark of corporate communications for decades. Blogs seem to be directly counter to typical corporate communications that are tightly managed, spun ever-so carefully, and designed to control the corporation's image.
All of which leads me to wonder if corporate blogs that allow any employee to post and that are public-facing are being monitored/policed/vetted by corporate officials?
I'll be interested in seeing if this issue is raised in any of the links I haven't read yet.

Thanks for pulling these links together so nicely. I've already passed this on to a few people.
Google Chrome for me
Hello.
After downloading Google Chrome browser, I was a little skeptical about it.My first thought was, how about privacy?
There are so many different stories, opinions and views on a subject of Google tracking our internet behaviour. Internet sites are trying to get as much information about our web browsing, computer info and so on.
Main reason for this kind of paranoia are different maliciously software, spyware, greyware and computer viruses.
First impression: Google Chrome is simple, it does not bother us with too much options. Reading about how it works reveal to us that every tab is separated browser. That's way tabs are above address bar. Working with tabs is simple. It's fast and in general simple to use. Yust be careful when closing a browser, it close without asking what to do with open tabs.
Privacy: First I was looking for a way to disable suggestion of web addresses. I must say that it can be an useful tool, but I just wonted this functionality to be turned off.
It's easy done, by disabling the option in Tools/Options/Basic/ default search: Manage; Unchecked the options: »Use a suggestion....«
How about clean browsing without a trace on a computer: It is also there under Page icon's menu: New incognito window with short cut Ctrl+Shift+N. Browsing on the Internet in this window does not leave any trace , no history, no cookies and no temporary files. It's all deleted when Incognito window is closed.
Conclusion: In my opinion this is a good alternative to most well known browsers. Because of it's simplicity I'm probably going to use this browser together with other available browsers. If I'm going to like it or not is going to be shown after using it for a while. Then I'm going to write another opinion about this subject.
