Personal institutional memory
Neville just made a point he and I have discussed before. He frequently publishes items to his blog so he can recall the information later. It’s a kind of personal institutional memory. In employee communications circles, blogs are being touted for (among other things) the record that’s created around projects. There’s no reason the same idea can’t apply to an individual. I find I often search my own blog for information I want to share with a client or colleague. Neville searches his blog, too, knowing that he put the item there specifically so it can be retrieved later when he needs it.
