I guess blogs are determined by what the blogger 'blogs' aren't they. Whereas in forums you can set up any thread you like, within reason. If you want more 'control' a blog is the way to go I guess. If you have a very specific agenda, or if you would like, as is suggested here, for a specific demographic to be reached, then 'control' (in a good way) is needed. Forums tend to be a demographic initially controlled by the organisation 'vision', but it can polarise. On the Fulcrum forums we have a range of 'thought' on a range of topics. These run well, because they were designed for dialogue of an open sort. I wouldn't have the same conversations here as I would have there, and neither would I want to. Otherwise my brain would explode....:-) x Jody It is an interesting question. I guess blogs are determined by what the blogger ‘blogs’ aren’t they.

For clarification: my use of the phrase 'unhelpful direction' was describing the fact that the board was not fitting in with the overall vision of the site. I did not mean (as you seem to imply) that 'this development' is 'about going in an unhelpful direction'. Gareth – Thanks for your comment.

It's about understanding the function and nature of the internet, and how that fits in with the goals and intentions of evangelists. What do evangelists want from the Internet? And what does the Internet offer? Once they know, they decide on how to proceed.
