Fighting Crime by Blogging

It may seem to some that blogging is the snake oil of the cyberage. It's often recommended to cure just about whatever ails you. The truth is blogging really can be useful in a variety of ways because it can help solve the universal problem of managing small pieces of information that are often be so elusive.

According to a recent article in PC Magazine, (Blogging for Business) blogging is being used by the Western States Information Network, a federal funded agency that collects, analyzes and share crime information, as a simple way to communicate. Think of it as quick and easy KM for law enforcement.

They're using Traction Software's enterprise blogging solution, noting that it was very easy to setup, and offered the project based security that they needed.

I know I feel safer.
