Re: [xmca] blog alternative to email list

My 2 cents. Frankly, Email or 'listserv' is not a collaboration
environment. Collaboration needs a 'shared' environment... email 'listsrve'
is simply crises-cross way of incomplete communication method - not
collaboration. New way of collaborating environments, say blogs, are
efficient and easier to extract 'knowledge' from the gathered 'content'.

On Blog platforms, you have an option to subscribe/post new content via
Email or RSS based on their own frequency - real-time, once a day or
whatever and those who do not want to be interrupted with emails... can
visit blogs on their own time and contribute. Things in the world are
changing at an alarming rate that means we need to get on to new way of
collaboration starting 'yesterday' and not 'tomorrow', especially the
academia - the teaching community. Perhaps you may have seen this clip at
the YouTube but here are some facts..
