Transparency and disclosure (selective disclosure) are the key tenets to a successful regulatory program. I suspect that the MiFID banking regulations in Europe will provide the impetus for a variety of Enterprise 2.0 tools to take hold in banks. Agree with Bill.

However, while the owner of the blog can erase an inappropriate comment, they cannot retrieve an inappropriate email. However the inappropriate blog post is then gone (unless of course someone copied it into another format while it was open). A email can quickly spin out of control as it is forwarded on and on. With most wikis old versions are saved and can be retrieved. This is how the wikipedia people go back to get the good content that was defaced by spam. IBM has an intersting tool that lets you analyse the history of a wiki entry as it goes through multiple edits. There is no perfect solution but there is much more transparency AND control with a blog or wiki than with email. Good point.

Many bloggers regularly delete or edit blog entries once they have been published, effectively rewriting history or deleting or rejecting the comments of others which alter the context if not the content of their blog. This is also possible in a wiki. In fact the several hundred volunteers for Wikipedia.org regularly do this on a daily basis to weed out bias and defacements. Why this also happens with sent emails. So much for the effectiveness of audit trails, record retention legislation and the rules of evidence.
