The key word is discussion. You're also right that not everyone is going to be knowledgeable about the subject at hand, but that's the beauty of the blogosphere. Discussion, discussion, discussion.

The list of possible topics based on type of blog is nice, but this seems more like a homework assignment focused on linking. Yes, there will be some 'awareness' that seeps out, but for the most part this seems more like a 'chic' thing to do. Maybe I am wrong, but wanted to start a discussion.
