I've had many great discussions in the comments of a post, far better than many forum threads. Matt The comment section of a blog can sometimes be the best forum you can find.

I'd even suggest that blogs aren't a new concept <em>whatsoever</em>, even with tools like WordPress and the mainstream blogging movement in this whole Web 2.0 era - "blogs" are just reiterations of the same community model that the internet has been perpetuation for years. That's not to say there isn't innovation, of course - it's just that many of the same principals can be applied to both. They're communities, and they should be handled in similar fashions.
