Hi Dan,
This is great, we are now in a discovery phase for using Blogs, Wikis and Discussion Boards. One of our first questions to answer was how to communicate the difference between blogs and discussions. This is a great help.

Thanks, and see you maybe next time I am in Charlotte.

Wiki’s definitely start to confuse users even more. As it’s more of ‘gathering communication, I tried to focus on the two things that are used ‘to dialogue’.

“a day in the life of a hamster”, I’m going to have to remember that one.

Thanks for the comments all!

Discussions, like other lists in SharePoint, have an Alert-Me feature. It’s available in the Actions menu: Actions > Alert Me.

The options available to you are the following:

Only send me alerts when:
———
All changes
New items are added
Existing items are modified
Items are deleted

Send me an alert when:
———
Anything changes
Someone else changes a post
Someone else changes a post created by me
Someone else changes a post last modified by me

They can be immediate, daily summary, or weekly summary.

Great discussion!

I have a question: is there any way to set up a discussion group so that a follow-up comment will be automatically sent to someone when his/her post has been answered? Kind of like the box below this comment box. :)

Thanks so much!
