How do I drive SharePoint and the concept of social media in a company in which most of my clientele consists of middle-aged civil engineers, most of whom don't see any benefit to making their work more social?

I was recently asked for a list of the top ten blogs that relate to corporate eLearning by someone who wanted to get a sense of content quality and value of reading blogs. I debated for a while, because I have quite a few blogs that I subscribe to and my personal style is to quickly scan a lot of blogs, selectively reading posts that I think are going to be interesting, comment on some, and post my thoughts about others.

What's been most enlightening for me is the "bad rap" that blogging gets from people who've probably only visited a few blogs and have been inundated with a general media bias against blogging. Below I've listed a few of the more interesting reasons that people don't like blogs: "you have to go there to 'pull' out information" Most people participating in blog reading and especially those participating in the blog community do so using an RSS Reader such as Bloglines . They subscribe to the blogs (and other sources) that interest them.

One of the features of Sakai that our team was looking for in a new LMS is a blogging tool. I admit some significant improvements in usability are possible in this tool. However, it does give us the option of blogging within the system. Previously, we’ve used tools like Wikispaces and Edublogs, but we’ve had a number of requests for internal tools that don’t require a separate login and location.

Managing staff who participate in social networks.
This list also includes policies called; Staff blogging policies, enterprise social network guidelines, Employee Blogging Policies, Staff engagement in online communities, and so on.... No-one got reinstated until we had “the talk”. Kinda cool that companies are now posting internal policies publicly . Not surprising - it goes a long way to protect the company from fallout if/when staff do ignore the social media guidelines in place.

The third week of Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals Free Online Course (you can jump in at any time) is all about Blogs for Learning . Interestingly, when I prepared the notes for this week, I was able to leverage what the course members had produced during the previous week on Social Bookmarks : http://delicious.com/tag/wlning+blogs http://delicious.com/tag/wlning+blog http://delicious.

Last week I had a meeting with a president of a company and four other directors/managers who had previously committed to blogging on their company’s blog. They were to take weekly turns posting, only committing themselves to blog once every five weeks - rotating. This wasn’t happening (obviously, or this would be a really pointless blog post!).
