I will be speaking next Monday at The Boston Knowledge Management Forum's Quarterly Seminar at Bentley College.

“Dark Blogs – Internal Blogs for Leveraging Knowledge.”

We're all aware of the use of blogs to share knowledge across the Internet. Experts use them to broadcast their insights, marketers use them to expound on the merits of their products, and smaller organizations use them as alternatives to traditional Web sites. But blogs are also being used within the firewall.

In this symposium, we'll explore the emerging uses of blogs - and wikis - to leverage an organization's internal knowledge - internally. We'll discuss a broad range of options, including techniques and case examples. And we'll examine some of the major issues critical to the success of Dark Blogs in sharing organizational knowledge.

Among our speakers will be a user-organization representative, a product vendor, a consultant, and an academic. They will share with us their knowledge and experiences in the potential, actual use, and challenges of Dark Blogs. This symposium promises to be a true learning event!

Joining me on the roster of speakers:

Jordan Frank, VP, Marketing & Business Development, Traction Software. Enterprise Blogs & Wikis: The KM 2.0 Path -

Susan Dobscha, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Marketing, Bentley College. The Invisible College: KM Insights from Academic Blogs -
