DoD weblogs?

Clay Shirky writes in Many-to-Many that the Department of Defense is looking into using weblogs for procurement. It’s not clear to me how this would work, and they offer a strange definition of weblogs, saying that a “BLOG” is similar to a community-of-interest (COI) but with role-based security. Huh?

    I used to work for the Naval Supply Systems Command. Procurement is 99% about communication, much of it formal, among internal and external stakeholders. Suppliers, consumers, overseers along the funding and implementation chains, et al. If faceted weblogs (each blog & post has settings for who can read/write it) help you avoid a handful of complications, produce even a few better acquisitions, you’ll pay for the entire project in a few days. btw, to my knowledge, Traction Software is the only vendor on the market with faceted weblogs.
