Bringing Blogs to the Workplace

So, I work for a drug company, and we're all FDA-regulated, so there's a very lengthy documentation process involved in everything. We have this system for electronic document routing. You upload your doc, fill out some things, and then everyone who needs to review it gets an email. They make notes and sign electronically. You manage those notes, fix your doc up all purty-like, and then it goes around again for e-sigs for approval.

When you log into the system, you have a list of all your docs that are in review or approval, and you have a list of everyone else's docs that you need to review or approve.

What I'm really really wishing for is an RSS feed for my list of docs, so that whenever someone leaves a note or signs off, I can aggregate that information somewhere, instead of having to go back to that list and refresh, refresh, refresh.

I'm going to email IT right now.

I don't know what this says about me, but I think it's a sweet idea.
