What are some good alternative uses you have found for blogs? I thought it might be cool to use the option to post to blog via email that some services like Blogger and others offer and have a themed relationship journal by using emails between lovers separated by distance, for example. This led me to wonder what other creative uses people might have out there.
I'd love to hear anything you've got! Thanks. Jen
Always on the lookout for something new...Creative Ideas Website
Actually, I have started working on one of my next e-books: 100 Creative Blogging Ideas...
One idea that I had was to use a blog for the communication of people who are from the same family or on the same work team but live in different places around the world.
All the members of the group would have the option to add blog posts and tell of important news to others.
Alternatively, a different group member would be in charge of the posts for a specific period (say, a week) and make her/his mark on the emerging final result.
By the way, do you think such an e-book will be of interest to bloggers or potential bloggers?

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt ...
I'm not too sure about what you mean when you say "alternative uses for blogs".
I think we have to distinguish between technologies to mange flows of information to and from the blogging platform, and the business model related to the information that is published on the blog itself.
You mentioned using Email to post info directly to the blog - I think there is a lot that will be done in this area in the near future to make blogging "invisibile" to the end user - only when a technology becomes invisibile it become widespread and accessible to the general public.
For instance I have not found tools that allow for seamless blogging. The only way I can get a post configured and published the way I want it is to logon and write my post. But then I have not looke too hard, maybe some has some suggestions in this respect !
If we then go down the business avenue all I can say is that I am experimenting along with many others finding the right combination of ideas and efforts to make business out of a blog ;-)
