[Sigia-l] Corporate Blogging - UPA Program on 9/16

[Marcia Morante]

The NYC UPA is sponsoring an event about corporate blogging on September 16.
Details below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------

Lucent Technologies' Information Specialist, Michael Angeles, believes
blogging has evolved beyond "cool" and is moving quickly into the corporate
world. In this presentation, Angeles will discuss who blogs, how and why.
He will also discuss how Lucent is supporting bloggers and at the same time
keeping close watch over the resulting growth of information on the
Intranet. Lucent's objective is to determine how the increased content that
will result from blogging can evolve into a plan for making that information
useful and usable for the enterprise.
