Using the affordances cited in Conole et al, I have considered the extent to which email and blogs are technologies which afford the characteristics listed.
I have added a couple of characteristics, which I have found to be important in my practice; Stimulate Action and Reward Action
I have made a spreadsheet on Google docs to record my conclusions.
Although several of the characteristics listed are afforded through email and blog, there are a few that seem particularly well served.
Email, because of its instantaneous capability and its ubiquitousness is good at Accessibility, Speed of Change, Communication, Immediacy, Stimulate Response/Action and Incentivise Action.
Blogging on the other hand is good for Reflection and Collaboration. The technology also enables users to be rewarded for participation when commenters post replies. The use of RSS feeds on blogs also means they can enable speed of change and immediacy.
