Class system

I wonder if we will need to develop a class system sometime to signal how vetted information is. For example:

FORMATIVE CLASS - Moses and God IM back and forth regarding the Ten Comandments. In the process they narrow the scope of coveting as a prohibited activity.

FIRMING CLASS - Moses posts the Ten Commandments on his blog. Some of the chosen people grouse that they JUST BOUGHT some swell graven images.. NOW what are they supposed to do? In the process, the 11th commandment (Zeppo) is dropped based on clear community feedback.

FINALIZED CLASS - TenCommandment.com is updated and available for reference.

Podcasts redux

Just got back from a meeting with some brains significantly larger than mine.

I might have to rethink the cold water I have hurled at podcasts for internal communications.

But I am still right that connecting an iPod to most business networks is not as simple as it sounds... so there :)

BTW the US release of Dirty Diamonds is August 2

Internal business podcasts?

Podcasts seem to be quite the rage lately. For personal use, I love them. While Alice Cooper's nightly radio show has yet to appear in this environment (a flaw I am sure will be addressed if there is justice in the universe), there is still a great deal of interesting material out there.

I have heard some suggest they are the "next big thing" internally. I don't have strong feelings either way, but I do have some nagging thoughts:

1. How many employees have iPods (or similar devices) - and for those that do, how many companies will want them to connect to employee workstations/laptops... and by proxy (no pun intended) your network

2. You could dodge the iPod issue by storing the audio on hard drives, but I wonder is a world with "HR policies on tape" is really any better. While it would be cool to hear leadership speak about company results, I wonder if I would spend less time, and have better future reference information, if that insight was delivered via static web content, a blog, or (gasp) even an email.

Not sure - just wonderin'
