CoPs people are becoming aware of weblogs value

In a follow-up of KnowledgeBoard discussion about the value of blogging Chris Kimble points to the discussion about blogs in Yahoo Group on Communities of Practice. He writes there about being surprised with fast speed of a feedback loop in blogs:

Has anybody else noticed this happening before or have I just been missing the obvious (or am I simply missing the point of blogs?)

I am really quite surprised at how quickly an idea can spread. Does anybody have any thoughts on the role of blogs in communities of practice and/or KM?

This discussion is worth mentioning not because it’s something new (it’s not – e.g. see How Weblogs Can Turn an Idea into an Epidemic), but because it’s a sign of CoPs people are becoming aware of weblogs value :)

I would comment there, but I’m really afraid of subscribing to one more maillist: I have too many already.
