The author, a CIO of a multibillion-dollar international company, rants against blogs. He complains about the "...amount of time people will spend on the blogs they feel compelled to monitor, and worse, create. As it is, we spend a large part of our day wading through stuff to find the achingly infrequent important messages." But blogs act as filters so we don't have to wade through hundreds of posts. Worse, he writes, "the last thing you want are uncontrolled and ever-expanding records of individual activities and opinions" because of the potential for litigation... "what you've said way back when may really hurt you." I personally think that it's good that we have such a record. So that when multibillion-dollar international companies (inevitably) break the law, we can catch them.
