Blogging represents an activity which, on first blush, seems susceptible of a clear definition circumscribing what it is, does, and means. This article suggests that blogging can provide valuable intellectual resources achieving "goodness" though the ranking of use. If true, this simply represents another instance where the actual implementation of blogs seeps through the definitional boundaries in such a way to manifest previously unrealized potential.

Traditional diaries and documents are invaluable windows into history -- if blogs have utility as the record of experience, it is worth considering what unique properties they bring to this mix.
