Weblogs for business: Corporate anarchy or stealth knowlege management? (by Doug Kaye)

Why Not Mailing Lists? Help me out here. I'm struggling with trying to understand how weblogs are different than mailing lists, particularly when used in business. I know they're different, I'm just having trouble figuring out why. Here are some criteria, most of which point to similarities, not differences: A web UI for authoring and reading. Yup, both have it. The ability to subscribe/unsubscribe Little concern for presentation Archiving potential Single or multiple authors Hyperlinking Chronological, web-based threaded presentation option These are ways in which weblogs and mailing lists are similar. But how do they differ? Are mailing lists not as good for very small chunks of content? What causes you to post to one versus the other? Posted Thursday, December 06, 2001 5:27:42 PM
