WebBlog versus Wiki[edit]
Web blogs support directional communication of stable information. Blogs are sorted by date (last comes first) and often allow commenting of the postings. After posting, a blog article shouldn't be changed any further -> comparable to mailing lists and news groups
Wikis support collaborative creating and editing of information -> comparable to web sites and word documents?
Possible addressees[edit]
- MPDL internal -> not required, use mpdl-internal mailinglist instead. The archive is available via....
- Project Blogs:
* see http://blog.dabbledb.com/ for a typical blog accompanying an evolving web application. * see http://blog.livingreviews.org/ for an example of a seemingly external blog hosted on the MPDL blog server; this example highlights another functionality of blogs: they can be used to syndicate content. The overview over the latest Living Reviews publications is generated from the rss feed of the journal's blogs on the fly.
Examples, out there... everywhere =[edit]
In September 2007, Cornelius Puschmann visited us to talk about "institutional blogging"[1]
