Neil posted earlier today about the new IBM blogs site:

Shared "Knowledge is (more) Power"
In another interesting development for IBM, Big Blue has unleashed some of the internal blogging community out onto the Web.

The idea is to spread some of the knowledge being very actively shared within IBM to a wider audience beyond the enterprise.

The site can be found at snappily named (!) http://www-949.ibm.com/blogs and already contains some useful content from many IBMers deeply involved in this area.  

Watch out for a number of contributors on topics related to Lotus Connections and Social Networking, including many by Steve Cogan who attended the recent Connectr event at IBM Dublin.
Well, on doing a little more digging, it appears that the new Blogs site is just part of a full Lotus Connections 2.0 (shipping tomorrow, remember) environment including Home Page, Communities, Activities, Blogs, Profiles and Dogear.  This (it seems) is open to IBMers, partners and customers and will be the new collaboration space for all to share - I assume that this will be a full production service (albeit at "beta1") whilst Greenhouse will remain the testbed for new technologies.

To try it out, head for the new Home Page, and log in with your usual IBM ID.

Great stuff IBM!

I tried logging in with my IBM ID and got this:
