Kinda undermines the article then.

Not necessarily... snippets can be usefull for the simple fact of organizing one's mind and week. Whether or not a manager keeps track of them, they allow the employee to personally be accountable.

That's exactly what happens to me with my personal idonethis, at least I'm using Team idonethis: http://idonethis.com/habits/ the right way.

Are the snippets collected into a public area?
