An Interesting Use of Blogs

I stumbled across Ms. Paulette’s 2-3 Class News blog by accident. I find the idea fascinating ... imagine, a schoolteacher posting to her blog what happened in class today. If I was a parent of a child in this class, I would be thrilled to find out what went on in school every day. And I’m quite impressed that Ms. Paulette is taking the time to do this.

Another interesting use of blogs is by the Western States Information Agency, which collects, analyzes and shares crime information. PC Magazine reports that crime-related information is quickly posted to the web, and law enforcement agencies have easy access to the latest information that they might need. This replaces a less effective e-mail system that was previously in use. (Link via Sugarpacket).

Finally, there’s the new (to me) concept of a Baby Blog. I think the parents are actually the bloggers — I figured that out myself — and they describe the days in the life of the newborn baby Adelle. I’m sure Adelle’s friends and relatives are going to enjoy this blog.
