WHAT'S A BLOG?

I learned about "Blogs" Monday. They are along the lines of e-newsletters / daily journal. Similar to OMAFRA Agri-Phones?

"Blogger offers you instant communication power by letting you post your thoughts to the web whenever the urge strikes. Blogger will publish to your current web site-or help you create one. "

Not sure if it has any use in OMAFRA. You can have multiple editors - so whether a "Swine" one would be of regular interest to swine farmers??? Some of the Leads or Specialists might have a following for their own Blog??? Would a unit such as the Contact Centre use one to share hot questions/information/resources with each other and other staff or clients. Don't know.

Might be an alternate way to do OMAFRA Gleanings or some of the Regional Information Coordinator e-Letters.

Discuss your ideas for uses for Blogs here - (or tell us if you think there is no use for them too).

Another example (and where I heard about GLOGS) is found at: http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/index.html
