If you're new to blogs Darlene Fichter's presentation The Blogging Explosion—Libraries & Weblogs is a good introduction. She also includes examples of how blogs are being used on library web sites.
My favorite part was Darlene's clear definition of a blog, "A web page containing brief entries arranged chronologically."
This no-frills description makes it easy to imagine the many ways they can be used on web pages or Intranets.
Do you want more pithy quotes about blogs? Here's one from Evan Williams, founder of Blogger.
"To me, the blog concept is about three things. Frequency, Brevity and Personality."
He's definitely got that brevity thing down pat!
