Knowledge Jolt with Jack: Blogs in business article

I'm really quoting most of his post here:

Howard Baldwin writes in the 1 January issue of Electronic Business Online, Blogs for business?

Forget about all the hype you've heard about blogs (a.k.a. Web logs) as the latest outlet for personal journalism. It turns out they also have a remarkable ability to aid communication in business, whether within internal workgroups or among external chains of suppliers and partners. For an industry such as electronics -- where relationships are far-flung and time-to-market pressures require fast communications -- blogs can bring a new agility to the workforce.
