s/Blogging/Talking/:Tim Bray hits the nail on the head
Tim Bray hits the nail directly on the head when he writes the following about the hoopla surrounding the risks of blogging to corporations:
As a thought experiment, replace the word ‘blogging’ with ‘email’ or ‘conference presentation’ or ‘teleconference’ or ‘sales presentation’. Or ‘barroom conversation’ for that matter. Quick, quick, you wanna be safe, you better lock all your employees up and never let ’em say anything to anyone!
(from ongoing: Scoble’s Bad Month)
I could not have said it better. While media and medium are always in flux, the substance of communication stays much the same.
