Advantages/Disadvantages

The first time I saw a blog was when I was working at a community college in San Antonio earlier this year. I was looking through the college website when I notices that there was a professor of the university that was doing a study or sabbatical in Africa. Each day the professor would submit a post about his experiences and observations of what he saw. Because he chose to use a blog his information was made available to students, staff, faculty and the general public. Another advantage of using a blog is that you can have viewers provide feedback on your post and it can serve as a place for discussions. I think a disadvantage is that because it is available for everyone to view there is the chance that viewers may post negative comments or feedback.
