UPDATED 2008: This is a silly post, isn’t it?
InfoWorld reports that Google is already using Blogger internally:
Craig Silverstein, Google’s director of technology, told an audience here at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference that the company has started using Pyra’sblog tool for internal communications and product development.
Good for them, blog tools make for good intra-company communication for a lot of reasons.
At the other end of the Blog Toolosphere, Six Apart’s (Movable Type’s) announcements this week were one step forward and two backwards: giving Anil Dash a job in Business Development was a good move, because he’s got all the qualifications to do well in that kind of job: lots of connections, understands the technology, and people like him. Taking on the idiotic Joi Ito as an investor will damage them much more than Anil can help them, however, because he’s the kind of guy who will end up trying to run the company, and he’s not nearly smart enough to do it well. He’ll bowl Ben and Mena over, and it’ll be up to Anil to face him down. Soap opera in the making.
I am, as we speak, in extensive weight and cardio training for my Final Showdown with Joi. Stay tuned!
Best of luck to you, and don’t forget to pack some heat.
