Over the last few months I have touched on IM an its possible uses within organisations, and the lack of take up. Today I noticed Dubs from HR Technology Discussion Board picked up on the HR.com item on IM and the reshaping of organisational communication.

It seems Mark Jen (ex Google and Microsoft fame) has been helping his new employer with their blogging policy. (Thanks to Michael Fitzgibbon for the link).
