good question, the effort of the sahabah ra which we are told to copy has amazing effects, and you can see that happening all over the world, what Allah SWT wants is sacrifice, of health, wealth and time, which doesn't happen on blogs forums - they only encourage arguments and debates, one question leads to an other, thats why when in khurooj we are told to try utmost to bring the brothers into the masjid and talk to him in a deeni environment of the masjid, the noorani atmosphere has its effects, blogs don't forums don't have this, thats why our ulamah's say to stay away from even getting your Deen through tv's and all.

the best form of dawah was how the sahabah ra practiced, marqaz says if there was ever a better form of dawah, Allah SWT would have the Prophets pbut and Sahabah ra practice upon it before us.

We dont want to encourage too much debate ? Arguments are down to individuals intention, and its easier to cease debate online, than walk away off line.

Blogs are self written, self-publishing platforms.
Forums are usually user driven content, where moderators check content and behaviour.

They are two different platforms to propogate Islam. Just as print media and newpapers and fliers are offline methods

They can be privately or company owned and operated.

Blogs are more restrictive, as each comment is normally moderated before approval.
Forum comments are applied and retrospectively moderated after approval

Arguably in reach, online methods are, cheaper, faster, more responsive, user friendly, interactive, and have massive more reach

Offline methods are expensive, have far less reach, are non-responsive, non-interactive

On a personal level a face to face approach is miles more effective than any publication online or offline. So i agree with you on this

Blogs and forums are tools, just like radio, tv, film, cds, dvds, memory sticks, directories, fliers etc etc
