Wikis, blogs, and podcasts provide new ways for businesses to communicate internally and share information. Wikis allow all employees to add and edit information in real-time to keep content up-to-date. Blogs let employees share achievements, ideas, experiences and resources over time in a searchable online journal. Podcasts allow important information like meetings, lectures and instructions to be shared through portable audio files listen to anywhere. These tools increase collaboration, productivity and knowledge sharing without travel or face-to-face meetings. While some training may be needed, they ultimately save time and money compared to traditional communication methods.Podcasting, Wikis, Blog1
