Denham Grey on Asynchronous Repositories and Explicit Sharing

Grey discusses many reasons blogging can be productive in a corporate environment without explicitly talking about blogs. I suppose some/much could apply also to wikis or KM systems or even storytelling/oral history?

1. Reflection (also mentions not being fast enough thinking on your feet in f2f stuff, there's something to that)
2. The Record
3. Getting in Deep
4. Helping Novices (see Efimova who calls this distributed apprenticeship)
5. Communication
