"Making sense of weblogs in the intranet: What they are, why people are using them, making them useful for knowledge management" is a is a presentation Lucent Technologies' Information Specialist, Michael Angeles gave yesterday: "I talked about weblogs inside my company, their use in knowledge management, and how my organization is hoping to make them usable for enterprise knowledge work if the number of blogs in the company increases significantly."

Presentation slides and notes are available for download. This is quite a long presentation and I haven't read it thoroughly yet. It seems to give interesting insights into Lucent's practices, but seems to a bit thin at the point where it gets interesting: how to glue all the data together, how to make blog data findable, how to make it usable.

Intranet Blogging is a subject I discussed a lot with Martin Röll. While he stresses that it basically is about people and contacts, I think the aspect of an (self-)growing knowledge reservoir often is underrated. As this aspect is what the Lucent paper is about, it will be interesting to read Martin's opinion on it - under JASPER, our Joint Strategic Special Premium Content Program, he is working on his blog entry this very moment.
