Sebastien Paquet: Personal knowledge publishing and its uses in research

In this document, I analyze an emerging form of knowledge sharing that I call personal knowledge publishing. Personal knowledge publishing has its roots in a practice known as "weblogging" that has been rapidly spreading on the World Wide Web over the last three years. It is a new form of communication that many expect will change the way people work and collaborate, especially in areas where knowledge and innovation play an important role.

This is a very well written piece that, I believe, makes a good case for the use of weblogs in a variety of environments.
