Scoble points to an interesting post on Weblog as Online Community Management Tool by Lee LeFever who writes Common Craft, also on my RSS feed list. He discusses how blogs can provide “a consistent and accessible place to have an independent voice to relate community news and information.” The Berkman Thursday meeting blog site certainly serves that purpose.
He continues, “The addition of a weblog is more than adding a new tool to the community, it is adding a new way of communicating. With a different format, locus of control, voice, etc. it adds something completely new to the mix, which can help members understand why it’s needed, why it’s different and what it’s for.”
Lee then lists a number of aspects of blogs that make them better than prior tools.
