BBC NEWS | Technology | Gates backs blogs for businesses: “Blogs are good for business, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has said.”
In a speech to an audience of chief executives, Mr Gates said the regularly updated journals, or blogs, could be a good way for firms to tell customers, staff and partners what they are doing.
….
Websites were a problem too, he added, because they demand that people visit them regularly to find out if anything has changed and require regular updating to avoid going stale.
….
These problems could be solved, said Mr Gates, by using blogs and Real Simple Syndication (RSS), that lets people know when a favourite journal is updated.
Well at least this will make it a bit easier to explain to the PHB “Why Blogs” / “Why RSS” (Cause Bill says they are a “GOOD THING”), even if to cause a rush of questions : What are Blogs/RSS, when can we get a Blog going (By which I mean I want it tomorrow), How do I read RSS (and get rid of all those funny angle brackets), I think it should be blue
This all comes under the category of : be careful what you wish for…
