How effective is a blog in communication

Blogs can be accessed through the Internet which allows any one who has the Internet to access the blog website. The effective use of a blog is that it has useful information about the topic you are writing about. The blog is safe no one can do any real damage on it and the blog can help people learn even more like with IT skills and other skills. The blog is your own thing you can change the text, colour, add pictures and even music can be added, its like an informal diary that you can update anytime you want and anyone can access the blog because the blog is free to any user and you can cut down on travel time because it can be accessed from home.

For business a blog allows employee participation which allows all who have a computer and many to access it from home. The blog allows free discussion of issues also sharing ideas on topics. All staff can communicate within the organisation it can be used to organise meetings and events and because all staff have access they may feel a sense of belonging.
