Access rights metadata for blog posts
Blogging is like standing in your underpants says Rogier Brussee through Andy.
Indeed, it can be quite dangerous to blog about the things you do for the company that pays you. On the other hand, it can also be quite dangerous if you don't. Exchanging ideas with your peers can be a big money saver, and keeping a log of the things you do and say can come in handy in legal fights about IP. There are times when you have to stand in your underpants anyway. Disclosing is a sign of love. You have to dis-clothe yourself (ha!ha! French humor) to have children. People started to dress up when they became scared of each other (see the book of Genesis).
Undoubtedly, the future lies in multiple blogs under one single editor: one per community of trust (company, friends, community of practice...) It appears unlikely to me that we will continue to blog to the entire world about our thoughts when it becomes easier to attach access rights metadata for every single post, thus allowing us to target our messages, as we do with Instant Messenging.
Incidentally, this will help reduce the amount of spam in our weblog comments. (By the way, I wonder how you guys deal with this. I am having more and more of those, around 50 per day. They don't seem to care about never being published anyway...)
