Dave notes new blogs by traditional columnists Louise Kehoe (Financial Times) and Peter Lewis (Fortune). It's nice to see them taking advantage of the format (even if they don't seem to be taking advantage of the software), but they're still missing what is - to me - one of the most important features, namely news aggregation.

I know I go on and on about this, but what would be truly innovative here would be to add an RSS feed so that I can subscribe to their daily posts. That's how to hook me as a new reader since I read their publications (print and online) on an irregular basis at best.

CMSWatch The Case for Personal Web Publishing. "Inside of corporations a weblog can be used in a knowledge management or market intelligence function. Every work group seems to have someone on the team who just sends links around via email to all the other people he or she works with. In an environment like that if you give them a weblog and all the sudden the resources start really working for you. Pretty soon everyone wants a weblog to share a resource they found and to annotate useful ways in which that resource can be used by the team." [snowdeal.org | conflux]
