Blogging on the Benefits of Blogs

Last week, two bloggers sounded off, go figure, on the benefits of blogs. Nancy E. Schwartz, author of the Getting Attention blog, in light of an article she referenced on how blogs have helped MIT communicate about the recent departure of its dean of admissions, discussed the benefits of blogs in times of crisis. Sean Stannard-Stockton, author of the Tactical Philanthropy blog who was among a handful of bloggers recently invited by the Council on Foundations to cover its conference, presented his viewpoint on the role of the blogger.
