Metablogging

A metablog is an informal internal blog of an organization written by its members. The pattern, initiated by Metalabel (opens in a new tab), creates space for members to "detail what they're working on and thinking about." (opens in a new tab) Commenting and asking questions on each other's blog posts are critical components of the metablogging practice, underscoring the benefits of asynchronous communication, post-permission collaboration, and open information.

Key benefits of metablogging:

• transparency around decisions, ideas, and plans
• a chronological record of past thinking
• less meetings

While organizations decide what cadence and approach work best for them, regular rhythms and thoughts-in-progress are generally valued over polished works.
