Confused of Calcutta » Blog Archive » Four Pillars: Thinking more about blogging and enterprise architecture

Confused of Calcutta » Blog Archive » Four Pillars: Thinking more about blogging and enterprise architecture: "If we accept that blogging is the opensourcing of ideas, then we need to expect returns from blogging that are consistent with opensource software. Let’s see how that plays out:"

Um... no? Blogging is by and large the open sourcing (if you can use that as a model) of opinion, nay, even rhetoric.

OK, some few bloggers are projecting ideas, but damn few. Even those that are blogging ideas too often wrap it up in opinions such that it becomes difficult to extract the pure idea from the feelings and bais of the blogger. Is that a bad thing? No, not if you accept blogging as another form of expression or speech. Speech is used to spread ideas, but not as opten as opinion.

At least, that's my opinion.
