Microsoft Research on blogs vs. email
Though all offices use multiple modes of communication, it's sometimes useful to compare the strengths of different media to understand which is the best tool for a particular job. The Social Computing group at Microsoft Research has a great conversationa bout Blogs vs Email that they've been kind enough to share on their public website, and it's well worth a read.
Though the name presents the two media in opposing roles, the truth is that email, instant messaging, blogs, and other media all work very well together.
If you're interested in tracking these ideas, the Social Computing group's main weblog, Raindrop is well worth subscribing to in your aggregator.
