Blogs and blogging

The following is the text of an article I posted on the RMS conference blog. (Click on the title for a link)

I'm running a session at the RMS conference on blogs and blogging and the relationship between Web2.0 technologies and records management.

These issues will become increasingly important over the coming year(s) so it's great we will have the space to discuss them, air our views and perhaps even find some agreement on how we move the agenda forward.

The questions I'd like to consider are

  • how useful, interesting and important are blogs/Web2.0 technologies?
  • can we build genuine online communities of interest?
  • is this the start of a new revolution in records/information/knowledge management?

I don't expect everyone to experts in the subject. (I'll even give you a quick overview of how they all work if necessary.) But it should be a lively, interesting and, I hope, important debate for the future of records management...so join us

Dear Red Kite, Your blog is blooming wonderful! All the latest changes have worked magnificently and it is a records management treaure trove.

I've just launched a little blog on records classification at
http://recordsclassification.blogspot.com

Blogging is a good tool to publish propositions and by publishing them, to fully develop them.

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
