Mailing list vs BlogMailing list vs Blog

• user must be subscribed to the list • it’s open to everyone

• it’s not readable outside users’ inboxes • it’s indexed by search engines

• only subscribers can respond • anyone can comment and participate

• once a new discussion gets on the way, the old threads get lost

• posts are on the site, and remain in SE indexes, and easily get new contributes
