[Hidden-tech] question about blogs

[Ken Russell]

Hello Robin,

One conceivable way to do this would  be through gmail w/ google documents.
 It could work like this:

* the "Leader" of the week, sends out the writing prompt
* the writers all create the writing and share with the others in the group
(goog+ circles would make this easy)
* the comments of other writers would all be managed with docs

Also, I've found that it's difficult to maintain the vitality needed for a
writer's group w/out actually meeting "face to face" from time to time --
even if only virtually.

Google+ also would come in handy in this regard as it's videochat "hangout"
feature allows up to 10 to connect directly through G+.

I've done all of this a few times; feel free to email me off list
(ken at waldenconsultinggroup) if you find you'd like a bit more guidance on
this.

Cheers,

Ken
