What I meant (and, so,should have been saying!), instead of "the same functionality," is "the functionality required by the job/user." It's an important distinction -- and I agree with you that blog tools probably don't provide identical functionality to all the other tools James listed -- but I still disagree with your contention that they shouldn't be used for any of those things because of that. I elaborate a little back on my site... But certainly, blogs have their limits -- is there anything less efficient than carrying on a conversation across blogs and across blog comments? :-) Hi Greg –
