Ernie the Attorney Blogging toward "Knowledge Management." -- Dave Winer mentioned this blog in Scripting News and it's a thought-provoking piece, particularly in the context of how much attention (and $$) I see devoted to the subject at my employer. DW also mentioned another related idea earlier in SN -- "BTW, another reason I blog is patents." The fact that patents must take into account any previous art prevents someone being allowed to take full credit for ideas that appear elsewhere in the "weblog knowledge cloud."
