The notion of a kLog (knowledge weblog) is vague until you cast a specific business information objective.

I've recently tried to define (for my own benefit) what a <A href="http://klognews.com/" target=_blank>kLog</A> is and what an example might look like. Perhaps this is like describing beauty—describing it in words is difficult, but you know it when you see it. I think a weblog (or any collection of time-based, free-flowing business content) is a kLog when it provides an increased capacity to act more intelligently. A good example of a kLog can be seen when you combine Office XP Smart Tags with MySmartChannels. What’s an example of how a Smart Tag and a channel might work together? Imagine you have a channel that documents contract negotiations with a number of clients. For each client, you create channel items with the client’s name as the item title. Further, imagine that your team of eight (and you) continually update these items with the latest information about ongoing negotiations and issues. This is a group note-pad of thoughts, ideas, and challenges of getting the work done. Since each of your staffers are subscribed to the channel (for Office XP Smart Tags), in every document, every e-mail, and every slide presentation referencing your client names, Smart Tags would be automatically present in the Office documents. This happens automatically and without any human intervention. It allows your staff to immediately access the channel content without thinking about where it is, or what the discrete URL's might be. Your team is able to immediately put their hands on the latest information about a client from any Office document that includes the client's name. <IMG style="WIDTH: 468px; HEIGHT: 155px" alt="" hspace=6 src="http://myst-technology.com/images/Smart%20Tag%20Example.jpg" align=right border=0> Further, imagine that other people (not on your staff) need to be kept informed about the contract progressions. They require access to information, but only with viewing rights. MySmartChannels, is able to share access with appropriate read-only permissions. This makes it possible for people that are peripheral to your team, to gain the same access to links (and insights) from any of their own Office documents that reference your client negotiation content. To be clear about this amazing functionality - it means that any Office documents - even ones that you and your team are not reading or writing, will contain automatic references to your channel content based on each subscriber's granted permissions. Integrating Office XP with MySmartChannels is one way to transform what appears to be a simple Weblog, into a <A href="http://klognews.com/" target=_blank>kLog</A>.
