Posted on April 27, 2005

Legal departments around the world are concerned that people in their company are just blogging away.

Meckler, who thinks blogs are just another publishing medium, also said that he doesn't get help from a PR department and receives lots of spam comments. Here is how important Meckler thinks blogs will be:
