1) Most people dont have very much to say thats interesting, and/or are unable to write down
their ideas in a compelling and clear manner.
2) I have often found that the people who have most time to write have least to say, and the
people who have most to say dont have enough time to write it. Thus, the real expertise within
the organization lays hidden, as you get drowned in trivia.
3) Like practically everything else on the Web, blogs are easy to start and hard to maintain.
Writing coherently is one of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks for a human being to
undertake. So, far from blogs being a cheap strategy, they are a very expensive one, in that they
eat up time. As a result, many blogs are not updated, thus damaging rather than enhancing the
reputation of the organization.
4) Organizations are not democracies. The Web makes many organizations look like
disorganizations, with multiple tones and opinions. Contrary to what some might think, the
average customer prefers it if the organization they are about to purchase from is at least
somewhat coherent.
