Gates likes blogs

I have seen a couple of blogs on the Times article criticizing bloggers but no mention yet of this:

Blogs are good for business, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has said. In a speech to an audience of chief executives, Mr Gates said the regularly updated journals, or blogs, could be a good way for firms to tell customers, staff and partners what they are doing.

He said blogs had advantages over other, older ways of communicating such as e-mail and websites.

More than 700 Microsoft employees are already using blogs to keep people up to date with their projects.

Of course, blogging wasn't good for this former Microsoft employee.
