Wow..when I first started blogging and first hit on the idea to search blogger for aikido blogs, I never realized how many I would find. Nor did I realize what a valuable resource such things could actually be. Not only are blogs are useful resource for Sensei's and Dojos to get their ideas out to other people, but they are extremely useful for any aikidoka seeking greater understanding of this wonderful art.
Where else can you find so many different viewpoints on so many different aspects of the art? It is true that you have no control over the information that you receive, but that is almost the best part of it. If it were constrained to the thoughts that occupied your mind at any given time, then the variety of ideas and information would be limited to your own particular "box". However, since the information comes from dozens of different minds - all thinking differently, you'r able to find information and perspectives on aspects of Aikido that you may not have been thinking about.
It's certainly not a "fast-track" to understanding by any means; but rather - I can see them being a valuable tool for forming a wider scope of understanding.
