Welcome to the 'Plogging' World

Roland Piquepaille writes "No, it's not a typo. A plog is short for 'project log' like a blog is short for 'web log.' And plogs start to be used as tools to manage projects, especially in the IT world, as discovered Michael Schrage of the MIT. He reports his findings in an article published by CIO Magazine, "The Virtues of Chitchat." Schrage found that if plogs are not really commonplace, they're not exactly rare. And they are even used to manage large IT projects, such as ERP rollouts. I totally agree with him that a plog is of great value to integrate people in a team or to keep track of the advancement of a project. And you, what's your view? If you're a project manager, do you use a plog for better control? And if not today, will you use one in the future? This overview contains selected excerpts from Schage's article which will help you to answer the above questions."

Whats the point of linking to another blog? you still have to click on all the links in that blog to get to the article. Does Roland pay slashdot for the traffic slashdot sends his way? I guess this would explain why theres about so many articles which are really summaries of mr piquepailles articles.

also, the other thing that is fishy is that its always mr piquepaille himself who submits the articles, its never an interested websurfer who thought they might be of interest to the slashdot audience...
