IBM and Sun build their blogging approach

B.L. Ochman compares IBM’s and Sun’s blogging policies.

It is interesting to note how IBM developed their approach:

The core principles — written by IBM bloggers over a period of ten days using an internal wiki — are designed to guide IBMers as they figure out what they’re going to blog about so they don’t end up like certain notable ex-employees of certain notable other companies. … this isn’t a policy that IBM is imposing upon us — it is a commitment that we all have entered into together.

Wikis are a fabulous tool for collaborative document building. I now co-create proposals with my clients using a wiki.

  1. Hi Shawn
    A belated comment (you guys have so much fabulous stuff it takes forever to get to all of it) – this sounds like a fabulous idea. I am trying to educate my clients about proposals and that I cannot guess what is in their heads, so love to know more. Do you use the available public technology or do you have a private wiki site?
    Regards, Sharon

  2. Hi Sharon, sometimes I use Wikispaces and we also have our own wiki using Mediawiki.
