On Tuesday I wrote on the benefits of cause blogging, as part 3 in the Introduction to Cause Blogging Series. The first benefit is the ability to share information quickly.  So how about an example?

The Health Care for America blog is advocating its position on the healthcare debate.  With the news on this issue changing every day, or every hour even, the authors are posting several times a day.  The fast and easy web publishing medium of blogging makes this possible.

For example, they were able to post a link to the Senate bill with commentary nearly as soon as it was released.  They’re also posting daily roundups of articles in the news, photos, and videos.

You can see that many of the posts are short and very tightly focused on one narrow aspect of this broad topic.  With blogging you don’t have to be long winded or overly concerned about scholarly writing!  Your writing can be quick, conversational and to the point.  When time is of the essence blogs get information and calls to action out fast.
