Blogs as community killers?
9 05 2007Here is an experiment.
I followed the link to the blog, which I subscribe to anyway, but hadn’t seen the RSS yet, and I used a bookmarklet to save it as a draft blog post.
A little later, I read a reply from Patrick Lambe, again on the group - which included a rationale for replying there:
As to why I answered your post here rather than on your blog (I’m a
subscriber):
(a) I read it here first
(b) I’m interested as much in how other com-prac members might
respond as in your own response, and I have a stronger sense of
community “presence” within the forum than I do within a blog.
So I returned to my draft blog post, added this and posted it, mindlful that all I have done is to document my own process without adding any opinion, analysis or original content whatsoever.

Blogs in relation to communities
Andy Roberts links to a discussion by Miguel Cornejo Castro. Essentially, the question is whether blogs build or tear apart other online communities (listservs, online forums, etc.). The answer: it depends.
