blogs engage people in knowledge sharing, reflection,
and debate, they often attract a large and dedicated readership.
Blogs are becoming an important component of the Internet
landscape, providing authors and readers with an avenue for
unedited expression, reaction, and connection, without the censorship
of mediated chat rooms or formal media outlets.
The simplicity of creating and maintaining blogs means that
open discussions can be established almost immediately, making
blogs an ideal venue for far-reaching discussions among the
Internet community on new or timely topics. Blogs foster the
growth of communities, and the dynamics of collaborative filtering
and recommending/referring may provide new ways to evaluate,
vet, and critique student-created knowledge.
