A while ago, I interviewed Stuart Hughes, Defence and Security Producer at the BBC about his blog. I'm just transcribing it now.
In the interview, he describes his blog as a "scrapbook" - "a scrapbook for all the stuff that falls on the floor when you're working".
I've never heard anyone else describe a blog like this. Maybe a blog is more of an interactive scrapbook but I like the idea.

About Mediating Conflict

- This project was based on my research for a PhD at the War Studies Department, King's College, London. The thesis considered the impact of blogging and 'new' media on the BBC's coverage of war and terrorism. The BBC College of Journalism helped facilitate the research.

Tom Barnett has used his blog on occasion to footnote his published works, or note pieces which were not included in the published version of a book but retain background interest...
Same general principle, and a neat adjunct to the idea of "the book" I'd say.
Thoughts of scrapbooks and all that... this might interest you

Washing line/scrapbook. Same difference.
Ta both. (Just as long as you don't try to use a real scrapbook as a washing line and vice versa.)
