When do I Blog?

Here's an interesting bite size piece by David Warwick on when to use blogs, wikis and forums.

"Forums are a tool that allows people to share and respond to ideas...

Wikis are used to publish. However, a wiki site is usually intended for a closed community of people where layout and formality are not crucial...

Blogs (and podcasts) are more about publishing. Although there is a collaborative component, the intent is not discussion, but the publication of one person's (or small group's) ideas."

I particularly like David's diagram:
