" "We also have people do things like Snippets. Every Monday, all the employees write an email that has five to seven bullet points on what you did the previous week. Being a search company, we take all the emails and make a giant Web page and index them."

I heard about this (from Batelle's book?) a while ago and thought what if more companies did it - at the end of every week publish a list of what you accomplished..then I realized most people would be scared because it makes everyone accountable for producing something. Nowadays, we do scrum at our company now so it wouldn't be a stretch.
