Interesting that you choose now to bring up this topic, Jack. It's one of the current threads of discussion on the actkm discussion email list. I'm not sure if the discussion archives are online but you can sign up to the list at http://www.actkm.org

You offer some very useful perspectives.

Jack - I've always viewed blogs as the voice (individual OR group) for a community about what is happening, what is going on, or what should be happening relative to some common interest. It is the soapbox for 'talking the walk'.

Wikis on the other hand are a better forum for the group to actually communicate while in the act of actually doing something that is being advocated on a blog. I think of it as the playing field for actually 'walking the talk'.

Blogs have their place when used in a constructive fashion and don't exist soley to promote controversy. There are currently far to many unethical HATE BLOGGERS online bringing discredit on the genre.

Thanks for your comment, Carmelo. I hope you haven't run into too many hate bloggers in your time online. They are mostly to be ignored, from my perspective.
