Blog-Spotting With IBM
Not entirely clear how this works. It's not a service. It seems like it is a software that you install and then I suppose set it loose on some set of blogs. Wouldnt' it be better if it were a service, for scalability if nothing else?

NewsGator Goes Enterprise
The idea here essentially seems to be to turn RSS into email or usenet. Is Newsgator just reinventing Usenet on Exchange? From an open system to a closed one.

GoDaddy CEO Fights Super Bowl Ad Ban via Blog
As a CEO, blogging minimizes your risk by not exposing you to media. What about comments and trackbacks. Deleting these runs against the idea of openness so often cited as key in micropersuasion.

An intranet wiki case study
This corporate wiki seems to have been successful as a forum for knowledge sharing. You need to be able to measure that benefit which is not mentioned in this brief note. Also, the adopters seem to be techies.

Enterprise Blogging in Practice, Notes
Can blogs really exist without cultivation? I suspect it really depends on the company doing the implementation. Most non-techies really have to be introduced to blogging and learn a new practice.
