Blogs- blogs have many qualities, they let you create your own personal space much like Bebo and similar ones of its nature, its aim is to get your views "out there" and broadcast them amongst your established or in some cases not established communities, this way you can help and share problems and be a great asset to those within your community whether it be virtual or not. Its also about having a sense of your own personal website letting you broadcast your own RSS feeds and gadgets of similar nature.
Forums- forums are intended for simple discussions to unravel, and primarily to get voices heard amongst communities, there is no real personal concept, apart from your chosen display name on full view. This idea lets you discuss things on an easier basis with everybody's comments and responses on a constant full view.
