Blogging Portals - useability and finding stuff
Tonight I was feeling really crappy about MS Project. I was thinking about all the ways that I'd just love to get the box and squash|crush|kill|destroy it... {some mental karma excercises}... ok, better now.
Anyways, after a while I thought, "No!, I'm wrong, I must find the blog of the MS Project PM; read it; learn about project management and inner peace and be a better person.". So! Do you think that I could find the blog of the MS Project PM? No, I couldn't.
You wouldn't think that it would be that difficult really. I mean, this is a portal full of MS bloggers. Now, either I'm right and the MS Project PM is so busy trying to work out how to use the product that they don't have time to blog about it, or, Weblogs just aren't good enough at providing layered services over their aggregated content. This ties in nicely with some thoughts that I had about blog portals back in June:
