Do blogs work?

For some weeks I have been wrestling over the worth of adding a blog to this site. There has been a lot of discussion about the value of blogs, what with people being able to add your conent to their site via in-page RSS feeds, and also people being able to subscribe to the blog using an RSS reader.
I have been browsing around blogs and must admit there are some really interesting ones out there – in fact there is a huge encyclopedia of knowledge and opinions contained just in blogs – never mind the WWW. Search via some of the blog specific search engines for a particular topic and you are just as likely, if not more so, to find something of relevence than on the web.
Of course there is a lot of rubbish mixed in with it as well – including spam blogs (set up just to create links to a particular site, and well, blogs that just talk about random stuff.
So here goes – will this lead to more business, better search engine rankings or end up being me talking to myself? We are soon to find out!
