Dina Mehta gives us a great description of how she is winning over her partner to blogging, with questions that speak to his attitude as a die-hard ‘company man’.
She then goes on citing yet another of McGee’s great musings on how to treat blogs in corporate surroundings.
At the same time Martin Roell is preparing for his presentation at the Gurteen Knowledge Conference, on how to introduce blogging in the workplace. His talk will be an adaptation of his earlier talk at the Blogtalk conference.

So I prepared a completely new presentation (which actually was a lot of fun!) and focused on how Weblogs work for an individual knowledge worker. The audience was really great: They asked a lot of questions and immediately “got” the concept of Weblogs in KM. The even had problems in their organisations to which they could apply Weblogs to. Very interesting!
