Michael Angeles has a really good presentation available at studioid on blogging in corporate America. Here's the original abstract:

Lucent Technologies' Information Specialist, Michael Angeles, believes blogging has evolved beyond "cool" and is moving quickly into the corporate world. In this presentation, Angeles will discuss who blogs, how and why.

He will also discuss how Lucent is supporting bloggers and at the same time keeping close watch over the resulting growth of information on the Intranet. Lucent's objective is to determine how the increased content that will result from blogging can evolve into a plan for making that information useful and usable for the enterprise."

And his main points:

• Weblogs are really not different as a technology, although they put control of publishing closer to users
• Classifying weblog data can be difficult and requires human resources, but some search applications can help
• Value diversity and above all, support users’ needs
• Allow users to produce organizational knowledge using whatever tools they choose
