If you are running a company, here is my input: Blogs are nothing but instant Web Logs. Blogging will allow people to exchange all sorts of information with all others. A blog can also be hosted as sites which can be accessed by public . All major oraganisations provide such platforms for employees to share "pieces of their mind". Existing tools and instant messaging allows private chats and private meetings with other people. But there are no means for sharing issues and subjects with public in real time. Its only a matter of time that it becomes a necessity. Like all new age means of communication, Blogs have also have their plus and minus points,It is also true that, with proper awareness, the advantages outweigh the drawbacks. Expected Benefits Creation of blogs will... to start with... help with the following : 1.) Provides atleast a "Organisation wide platform" for sharing thoughts. 2.) Will certainly help "Administration personnel" in communicating new policies,policy changes/ resolving misunderstanding of company policies if any.. 3.) Will help management in striking a chord with the PULSE of employee thoughts. 4.) In case the Blogs are hosted for public to access, they will increase visibility of company on the internet. This will also help make the company's image more transparent to its investors.Blogs have potential to help the organization develop stronger relationships and brand loyalty with its investors, as they interact with the ?human face? of the organization through blogs. 5.) Will help associates in discussing Technical issues .. etc in almost real time. 6.) Blogs are also helpful in improving customer relationships and business activities... We can derive examples from existing organisations who have harnessed the power of this new channel.
