Blogs are good for business, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has said. He said blogs had advantages over other, older ways of communicating such as e-mail and websites.Mr. Gates made a point of dwelling on blogs and said that although they started in the technical community and have come to be a broader social phenomenon, businesses can use them too.
They had advantages over more traditional ways of keeping in touch such as e-mail and websites. E-mail messages could be too imposing or leave out key people who should be included, said Mr Gates.
Websites were a problem too, he added, because they demand that people visit them regularly to find out if anything has changed and require regular updating to avoid going stale.
These problems could be solved, said Mr Gates, by using blogs and Really Simple Syndication (RSS), that lets people know when a favourite journal is updated.
“What blogging and these notifications are about is that you make it very easy to communicate,” he said.
“The ultimate idea is that you should get the information you want when you want it.”
