The thing with a blog is this: it's one more thing for a busy person to check regularly. For me, Email (or something that can become Email, such as a Yahoo group) works better, because I'm already checking that regularly. If this blog really takes off, I'll probably get in the habit of checking it regularly, but if it remains quiet for a week at a time, I'll probably start only checking it once a month or so, and that probably doesn't achieve your desired result.

One thing to consider, both here and in a Yahoo group, is this: make sure you're not in the situation of having a solution looking for a problem. That is, it's usually more successful to say "here's a need, and a blog is the best solution for it" than to say "here's a blog, let's look for a need that can maybe fit it."
