Blogs Play A Role In Homeland Security
from the is-that-good-or-bad? dept
Now, clearly, I believe that blogs are very useful, simple knowledge management system. It's what our business is based on, here at Techdirt. However, I don't necessarily understand those who are selling software for enterprise blogs. Computerworld is excited to find out that law enforcement agencies are using blogs to share and store information concerning Homeland Security issues. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, if they're properly set up. What I wonder about, though, is why those agencies are paying some company for specific "enterprise blog" software, when they could just go out and use one of the free (or extremely cheap) tools that are out there on the market already? This sounds like another situation where taxpayer money is going towards something it doesn't need to.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
