Why corporate blogging works...the membrane

Tuesday, May 10 2005

Make sense?  It didn't to me...at first, but Hugh over at gapingvoid has a great theory of why corporate blogging works and this drawing really is as simple as it looks.  Give it a quick read.

The reason I'm bringing this up?  Well, I think that Microsoft has done an excellent job of accomplishing what Hugh describes.  Our X membrane is pretty thin/porous.  The last number I heard is that we have more than 1,500 confirmed Microsoft employees blogging, but I think that was only counting blogs.msdn.com.  There are several more I know of on MSN Spaces and various other services.

By the way, if you haven't checked out gapingvoid before be warned that some of the content could be considered offensive.  Personally, I think Hugh is freakin hilarious!  Here are a few of my favorite drawings of his (this one even adorns my office window).
