Jon Udell with a nice article on using weblogs to manage project communication.

If you're managing an IT project, you are by definition a communication hub. Running a project Weblog is a great way to collect, organize, and publish the documents and discussions that are the lifeblood of the project and to shape these raw materials into a coherent narrative. The serial nature of the Weblog helps you make it the project's newspaper of record. This kind of storytelling can become a powerful way to focus the attention of a group. The desire to listen to a compelling story and find out what happens next is a deep human instinct.

This is right on the money - I'm very tempted to setup a weblog for scope document and spec publication for a project I'm working on at the moment. Even if many of the other project participants aren't using aggregators, I think there is some value in doing this.
