A metablog is an informal internal blog written by members of an organization. The pattern, initiated by Metalabel, creates space for members to "detail what they're working on and thinking about." In addition to writing posts for the blog, commenting and asking questions on each other's posts are critical components of the metablogging practice, underscoring the benefits of asynchronous communication, post-permission collaboration, and open information.
Other 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, regular rhythms and thoughts-in-progress are valued over polished works.
