Chapter 1 in the Yellow book: By Jessica

-Blogging,

microsoft employees blogging to see news about work-blogging gets people to sit down and shut up. Bill Gates says blogging is easy way to communicate. Blogger humanizes the company to become better communicators with the customers and build relationships instead of just being a microsoft employee. Channel 9 is microsofts video blog-used to help customers and help identify problems on the job. Used the first wiki. Go to http://channel9.msdn.com/. Bloggin allows you to get to know people at work.



Dr. Jih's comments-Would we like to use bloggin at work? Yes. Several years ago Ryan was sitting in the back row. A manager from HCA came to talk to Dr. Jih's class. He hired Ryan before he graduated. He hired Ryan because he saw Ryan's webpage. He saw alot of cool things on Ryan's home page. This was the kind of attitude that HCA wanted. You have to know new things about new technologies. It takes a while to learn new stuff and Ryan already had this learned.

Sometimes a blog is alot of nothing like Facebook. It can be a good tool for individuals not just for companies. Bloggs can be used by suppliers, consumers, producers. If your blog has something good in it, you may get an email from a company in Germany wanting to talk to you. Dr. Jih got an email from an email from France who read a publication of Dr. Jih in mobile commerce. You have to start somewhere. The computer can be a pretty cool and good way to present your self. It takes time to think strategically and to invest a little time. It is okay to have a little fun. There is a lot of good and bad. We are smart enough to avoid the bad but there is alot of good. Look at the channel9 video blog. This is the best blog ever. Use blog as online journel. Put your webpage address or blog address on your resume. If what they see impresses them, you will get hired. They will click on your website and this is how you distinguish yourself. Employers want to know about you. You can go as deep as you want on this. One thing that beats this way, is a personal network. A personal network is limited though. They are not mutually exclusive.



Chapter 2: "Everything Never Changes"

"Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do".









-Bloggin for recruits

blogging creates competition between teams. does not change nagging security issue. Millions of microsoft users have lost billions of dollars because of its vulnerability.
