When doing some research on blogging and its use in HR, I came cross avery good book by by Jill Walker Rettberg (2008) ‘Blogging’ published by Polity Press. Also a good blog to keep track of on is James Richards’ Work-related blogs’ from Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. He’s done some good research on blogging.
