blogging to share knowledge

People blog for many reasons. Some blog to reflect on their daily lives. Matt Payne blogs to remember things and retrieve them at a later date. I choose to blog to share information, whether it be information of a personal nature or information of a technical nature (programming, design, etc.). To me, this is the coolest part of blogging... just tossing information out into the void for anyone to view and digest.

Recently an article appeared in Wired that advocates using blogs in intelligence (INTEL) communities so that information can be indexed and tagged (in the Google sense and del.icio.us sense, respectively). It would be interesting to see how something like this could be implemented, especially with information visibility restrictions that INTEL carries with it (different security classifications and so forth). I wonder what my friends in the INTEL community would think of this.... :-)
