These issues will become increasingly important over the coming year(s) so it's great we will have the space to discuss them, air our views and perhaps even find some agreement on how we move the agenda forward.
The questions I'd like to consider are
- how useful, interesting and important are blogs/Web2.0 technologies?
- can we build genuine online communities of interest?
- is this the start of a new revolution in records/information/knowledge management?
I don't expect everyone to experts in the subject. (I'll even give you a quick overview of how they all work if necessary.) But it should be a lively, interesting and, I hope, important debate for the future of records management...so join us.

You might be interested in an SAA session on blogging held in 2006. Documentation related to the session is available here.
The session covered both the importance of blogs to archivists-- a professional group related to records managers-- and how blogs might work in the service of archives. Some of the presentations are online via the portal, and might be of interest.

That's extremely useful and extremely interesting! Thank you...
I love the phrase...stop carping and start collaborating!
I might have to use it myself.

I would like to comment on Web 2.0 technologies and their impact on records management. Web 2.0 is now integrated in document management software. Web-based solutions also known as Software as a Service (SaaS) do widely use Web 2.0 to improve interaction of records centres and their clients. Good examples of this are:
• Use of RSS Feeds for keeping clients up-to-date about the status of recent orders,
• Creating blogs for Clients,
• Smart information display and navigation using AJAX framework.
I don’t see Web2.0 as a revolution in records management, but it certainly is a revolution in information sharing and online interaction possibilities with clients and colleagues.
