There’s been at least one very public war story from the field in terms of enterprise blogging sans corporate policy – and this one has a fatality. Seems that Mark Jen’s foray into blogging on his experiences as a Google employee went awry pretty quickly. Despite a single-day record of 60,000 unique visitors, Google was not amused by the inclusion of “sensitive information about finances and products.” Here’s the full story.
Jen is no longer a Google employee, fired on Jan 28th after 11 days of work. He maintains that Google gave him no reason for the termination. He continues to blog at 99zeros with a subhead of “Life After Google.”
Although many may remain skeptical about blogging’s potential impact on enterprise collaboration and productivity, the evolution of use should spur enterprises to take a look at P&P development sooner, rather than later.

Autonomy Corporation plc and NCorp announced that Autonomy has acquired NCorp from private shareholders. Combining Autonomy’s IDOL technology for unstructured information and NCorp’s technology for structured information allows enterprises to fully integrate the processing and delivery of all enterprise content. Based upon mathematics and pattern matching, NCorp’s Ijen technology puts the database into a multidimensional space in order to enable ‘fuzzy queries’; by putting differing items into a multidimensional space, comparisons can be made by calculating their similarity. Combining Autonomy’s IDOL Server with NCorp’s Ijen technology produces a parametric search capability set which relates n-dimensional structured objects to each other conceptually where no direct field match exists. www.autonomy.com
