Well I think blogs essentially have the poster of the information as focal point. Yes you can of course have a class blog, and the comments feature, but I'm still not convinced that they do discussion very well. (But - check this great class and student blogging space) Blogs are great for creating just websites too, because you can really easily embed media in blogs.
You can also do this with wikis (embed media) but it's harder. But wikis are by design, group spaces.
Forums - well - good for discussion, but very wordy and unattractive. (You can't embed media)

Well I posted a comment and then practiced deleting it. I think blogs are great group spaces.
Well, I just tried to view the site you recommended Michael from work and got this message. I will have to try from home.

Desma - would like to know more about why you think blogs are great group spaces? And Cheryl - doesn't it warm the heart to be told that you are wanting to visit a site that is 'in contravention of Internet Usage Policy and could result in disciplinary action.'?
