Mark Evans points me to a blog by John Roese, CTO of Nortel, which is pretty well written and interesting. Mark has interviewed me a couple of times and both times challenged me to name a blog by a major Candadian company executive.
He has apparently found his own answer.
Corporate blogging has not caught on as fast as Robert and I thought it would when we wrote Naked Conversations. But it has caught on and it is instigating the sort of fundamental change we predicted. It reminds me of Ethernet, when it's inventor Bob Metcalfe went around for years extolling it's virtues, closing his talks with, "And I predict this years, as I have predicted for the past six years, will be the year of the computer LAN."
No one quite knows which years actually was the year of the computer network. It just happened steadily. At the time, it seemed adoption was painfully gradual, and then we looked back and it was so obvious that it would happen and the time it took did not seem that long after all.
In fact it really wasn't.
