Blogs, Forums and the Nature of Discussion

(Just click on 'Login as a Guest' to read.) The people at Moodle are going through the same sort of reasoning I have regarding blogs, comments and forum posts. Martin Dougiamas writes, "We need to think very deeply about forums, blogs and the other types of posts Moodle allows to come up with a unified idea that is so simple that anyone can understand it straight away (these are the hardest ideas to think of)... the best we could come up with was to remove the comments from blogs and extend the blog trackback system to keep track of links between blogs and between blogs and forums etc." There's a lot of discussion in what follows, not all of it complimentary to the idea - or to blogs in general. I will have more to say on this; it is an issue, in my mind, of fundamental importance. But I have to finish coding first. Via Auricle.
