is this trip really necessary?

i am a firm proponent of not having a solution looking for a problem. i believe blogs have potential within education, but i am not married to the idea. the reason for this team is for us to explore together and assess the value of this particular tool within each person's context.

with that in mind, i found a nice article about the pro's and con's of blogging. although it is does not specifically address their educational applications and instead focuses on their business/marketing applications, much of what is said is relevant.

from the article:

There are more advantages than disadvantages to blogging. But the disadvantages will definitely cause your blog's failure and could even put you in the midst of controversy or see you mocked by other bloggers.

I've looked at a few blogs now and read some of the articles. At this point blogging appears to have some value, but I wonder if it will continue. Just as my email account has a rapidly diminishing value due to spam, it seems the probablility of finding useful blogs is rapidly diminishing due to their proliferation.

If I start my own blog, would I be contributing to the downfall of all blogs?
