From the 37 Signals article…

Businesses are starting to use blogs internally to share knowledge, disseminate information across the entire organization, and manage projects. Some advantages of using internal blogs include:

– An archive of contributions if an employee leaves

– Central spot for communication instead of email here, IM there

– Written record of who said what, approvals, comments, etc.

– Central location eases bandwidth requirements

– Central location for project assets (logos, fonts, documentation)

This is a really good article with many links to helpful resources, particularly if you are looking to use blogs within your company. [37signals thanks to Corporate Blogging or K-Logs]
