Some people tell me "Don't post, write articles", but I think that blog is more efficient, and write post is quicker and more agile. http://ayende.com/2634/blog-posts-vs-articles#comment3http://ayende.com/2634/blog-posts-vs-articles#comment3Mon, 16 Jul 2007 08:18:24 GMTIn simple terms ... blogging is interactive, articles aren't. That alone makes blogs 10x more useful - not to mention makes them more aligned to to agile. Articles = BDUF ... Blogs = iterative development http://ayende.com/2634/blog-posts-vs-articles#comment2http://ayende.com/2634/blog-posts-vs-articles#comment2Sat, 14 Jul 2007 06:19:25 GMTPersonally, I view blogging as a way of centralizing/recording useful pieces of information that I think I might need later on (or want to share with my small circle of associates). If the information on my blog happens to be helpful to someone later on down the road, that's a bonus. http://ayende.com/2634/blog-posts-vs-articles#comment1http://ayende.com/2634/blog-posts-vs-articles#comment1Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:51:23 GMT
